Material palettes and library

For

• whateach isHeatpunk project you will need to use a material palette - this palette contains all the materials that make up the property you're modelling. You can create default palettes usable on any projects through your material library or build palettes from scratch for each project. 

  Material library 

  The material library can be access from the Heatpunk homepage under My Material Library.

  

  Upon opening a project after creating it, you can also navigate to the material library by clicking Manage palettes.

  

  In your material library, you will be able to view and edit all your material palettes and create new ones.
