Select the area object for which the material property is to be overwritten.
Click the Assign menu > Area > Area Material Property Overwrites command to access the Assign Material Property Overwrite form.
Use the Material Property Designated in the Area Section Property Definition - This is the default option. When this option is selected, the material properties are those defined for the section that has been assigned to the selected area object. This option can be used to reverse a material property overwrite.
Overwrite Material Property option and drop-down list - When this option is selected, choose the material property definition from the drop-down list. The chosen definition will be applied to the selected area object.
