Form: Frame Material Property Overwrite
By default, the program uses the material properties associated with the section assigned to the frames. Use the Assign menu > Frame > Material Property Overwrites command to specify that a previously defined material property be assigned to a selected object(s).
Select the frame object for which the material property is to be overwritten.
Click the Assign menu > Frame > Material Property Overwrites command to access the Frame Material Property Overwrite form.
Use the Material Property Designated in the Frame 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 frame. 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 previously defined material property definition from the drop-down list. The chosen definition will be applied to the selected frame or cable object.
