Meaning of Triangle on Materials?

Jim

This is probably a dumb question, but what exactly does the triangle on a material mean in the Materials dialog?

thomthom

It means they are in use. If the material is not in use anywhere in the model it won't display that triangle.

thomthom

You'll find the same in the component list of your model.

Jim

Ah yes, that was about the only thing I could think of (after I posted, of course.) Thanks. I don't see it on my Components, though.

I've never realised they were for this. In fact, I have (probably) not even noticed those triangles.

Its strange how you just dont notice these things after a while.

Maybe the triangles are another solution to a problem that really doesn't exist. They don't disturb me, either, but if the feature disappeared, I doubt if I would notice.
