How is the right way to assign a previous layer material to an already material assigned object so that the layer controls the material properties for this object?
Thank you!
Hi Hannes,
not sure I understand your question right.
So your object is on layer X, which has a material Y and:
Your object has material Z assigned to it, and now you want to change it back to use material Y (layer material) is that correct?
This you will need to change in the object Properties material tab, change the material from custom to ‘Use Layer Material’
If your object is on layer X, has a custom material Z, but the layer has material Y, and the are other objects on this layer already that use the layer material, you can also use the Match button in the object Properties material tab.
Alternatively you can run MatchProperties for this as well.
This does the trick. Thank you @Gijs , didn’t see that. So simple.
