With this utility it is possible to easily find a material by using filters on the library properties. When applying the material, the custom properties of the material automatically become custom properties of the part.

In order to allow the modification and customization of materials, it is necessary to duplicate the SOLIDWORKS material base installed by default. Indeed, this base cannot be modified.
