Give a copy a distinct name so it isn’t confused with the original, and keep its source and installation details.

Review and save#

  1. Check the band frequencies, units and construction summary.
  2. Add cost or technical information only if you have reliable data.
  3. Click Save Material.

Edit or delete deliberately#

You can edit or delete local materials. Before deleting or replacing one, read any message about where it’s used — a material can be in use even if it isn’t selected now.

Check your result#

Reselect the saved material — its values are as you entered them. If projects already use it, rerun their analysis to pick up the change.
