I’ve been working on rendering with a large number of objects and materials. Ocassionally I drag a material to the layer panel and, accidentally let go over some object in the model. I assume that that material is being assigned to that objectg and I wonder if there is a way to "unassign the material, since I prefer materials assigned only to layers.
Hello- if you see it happen, Undo should sort it out, otherwise, after the fact, the object’s Properties > Material page will let you set it back to ‘Use layer material’. You can do multiples, indeed all objects at once, if need be.
