Organize and Manage Materials
Custom Folders
You can organize materials into custom folders for easy reference and management. By doing this, you are,
effectively, customizing a user archive. For more information, see “
Use the Presenter Archives” on page 350.
The Material Palette
On the Materials tab, the right pane, or material palette, is where you edit and manage your materials for your
scene. Materials are taken from the archives into the palette where they are edited. You can then save the palette
into a Autodesk Navisworks palette file (NWP) for use in other scenes too.

1 Open the Presenter window, and click the Materials tab.
2 Right-click the My Materials folder in the left pane, and click New Directory on the shortcut menu.

4 Type in the new name, for example “GGK Project”.
To delete a custom folder
1 In the Presenter window, Materials tab, expand the My Materials folder in the left pane, and right-click the
folder you want to delete.
2 Click Delete on the shortcut menu.
