Assigning different material to one part file.

Can I assign individual extrusions/features in a part file with its own material properties? example, first extrusion can be aluminium, the second can be copper.

Hi @lelouchparanoid,

Parts can only have one material, however, they can have multiple appearances.

If you want multiple materials you can use a multi-body/multi-solid part and push each solid as a separate part file in an assembly. This is done via the Make Component command on the manage tab. 

 

Each part file in the assembly can then have its own material.

Hi! Fusion 360 does support per body material. You may want to take a look.

Many thanks!
