Material Density

mikelerwill — Mon, 15 Apr 2019 11:06:43 GMT

I am trying to enter density of two slightly different plastic for parts of my model, the values I have been given are 1.1g/cm3 and 1.2g/cm3

When I try to edit the initial value of abs plastic it is 0.001g/mm3 but won't allow me to change it to 0.0011g/mm3 or change the units

Is there any way I can accomplish this

Thanks

Hi @mikelerwill ,

Are you able to duplicate the material/move it to your favorites folder? I don't believe you can change the library material's properties values, but try this:

Right-click ABS Plastic and select Add To -> Favorites
Open the Favorites Folder
Edit ABS Plastic

Does this work?

Thanks, The key was "Manage Materials" which I hadn't found yet, I was trying to change it within "Physical Material"
