topic NOTICE: June Update Materials changes; retiring legacy material library in Fusion Design, Validate & Document Forum https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-design-validate-document/notice-june-update-materials-changes-retiring-legacy-material/m-p/5682538#M294297 In the June release of Fusion 360, coming this weekend, we are introducing a brand new material download service. This will allow you to browse, download and apply cloud-hosted materials directly from the Appearance dialog:   <IMG src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/174097iF05AEBB97C5C1397/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&px=-1" border="0" alt="newmats.gif" title="newmats.gif" />   We hope this will make browsing and accessing new materials much easier. Going forward, we will also be adding a new set of downloadable physical materials, and continue to add brand new high-fidelity appearances & finishes to the Fusion 360 Appearance Library. As part of this change, we’ll be retiring Exchange Materials download service, and the Legacy Material/Appearance Library will be removed. These will no longer be available in Fusion 360. If you wish to keep any physical materials or appearances from the Legacy Material/Appearance Library beyond the June update, you can do this by saving them to your Favorites library before the update on June 20th: <OL> <LI>If not already downloaded to the local machine, open the Exchange Materials browser and download the required material(s)</LI> <LI>Open the Physical Material/Appearance command</LI> <LI>Use the Library dropdown to switch to the Legacy Material/Appearance Library</LI> <LI>Right-click each material and select Add To Favorites</LI> </OL> <IMG src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/174098i7860CCE235294C69/image-size/original?v=mpbl-1&px=-1" border="0" alt="savetofave.gif" title="savetofave.gif" />   These materials will now be available to you beyond the June update from your Favorites library. Note that if you have legacy materials assigned to existing designs, these will be unaffected by the June update changes. You can also copy these to your Favorites library at any time to reuse them on other designs (no need to do this before the June update): <OL> <LI>Open an existing design with the required material(s) applied</LI> <LI>Open the Physical Material/Appearance library</LI> <LI>From the In This Design panel, right-click each material and select Add To Favorites</LI> </OL>   Please do get in touch if you have any questions about the changes. We’d also love to get feedback on new materials you’d like to see added to the new downloadable library in future. Thu, 18 Jun 2015 11:48:38 GMT jakefowler 2015-06-18T11:48:38Z
