If a material has the same name as a selection set in the model, then all items in this selection set receive this
material from the palette when you select the rule Selection Sets by Name, and click Apply.
To apply predefined Presenter rules
1 Open the Presenter window, and click the Rules tab.
2 Select all the rules you want to apply. You can apply as many rules as you want, as all rules depend on
material names.
3 Use the check boxes on the right side of the Presenter window, Rules tab, to control how the selected rules
applied to the scene:
Select Override Any Current Exact Mappings if you want to override any existing mappings from Presenter
materials to items in the selection tree.
Select Apply to Current Selection Only if you want to apply this rule only to the currently selected items
in the scene. Be aware that this is the default setting, so if your rule seems not to have worked, check that
you don’t have this option checked with nothing selected in the scene.
Select Apply to All Instances if you want to apply this rule to all instances of any multiply-instanced item
affected by the rule.
4 Click Apply.
