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 300.
The Material Palette
The 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.
