Review assignment status#

Resolve any unresolved, Generic, missing or conflicting material messages before you run the analysis. Clear Assignment removes the project mapping for that construction.

Review suggestions#

Suggestions are proposals, not confirmations. Accept one only when the material and source fit the construction.

Check your result#

Every construction shows an assigned material and no status messages remain. If you change linked-model scope later, reopen Surface Materials to refresh the list.

For a finish or treatment in one room only, use Room Analysis instead.
