Add New Material Region From Selected

The Add New Material Region From Selected option allows you to add new polygons to represent a material region from a selected set of entities (i.e. faces, edges, etc.).

To add a new material region from a selected entity to your model:

1. Select the entities of interest in the model, using either the Entity Selection or Faces Selection tool.
2. Select Add New Material Region From Selected from the Materials menu.
3. Once the New Material Region dialog appears, select the property of the material from the drop-down menu. By default, the first material and its properties are applied to the entire slope. You can also select the Create From Selected icon under the Visibility pane.
4. The material region will automatically be created. You can further customize the region's properties such as Name, Property, and Geometry under the Properties pane.
