# Change Material Properties

When you add a generic material, it comes with standard material properties. Sometimes, you might need to update these to better reflect your design. Please note, material properties for supplier materials cannot be changed.

## **Change a Material Property**

To edit a property, hover over any generic material on the left side of the screen and click the material icon in the top left corner. This opens a detailed dropdown menu. From there, click on the property you want to update, enter your new value and your changes will be saved.
