Using this utility, you can easily find a material by applying filters to the library's properties. When you apply the material, its custom properties automatically become the part's custom properties.

To enable the modification and customization of materials, you must duplicate the SOLIDWORKS material library that is installed by default. This is because the default library cannot be modified.
