# Manage a Material

There are two ways to move materials within a Wall, Roof or Floor System: you can either shift a material or use drag and drop. 

## **Shift a Material**

Shifting a material lets you move it from one position to another within a Wall, Roof or Floor System. Hover over any material on the left side of the screen and you’ll see options to 'Shift In' or 'Shift Out'.

* 'Shift Out' moves the material towards the outer side of the system.
* 'Shift In' moves it towards the inner side.

## **Drag and Drop a Material**

The drag and drop feature works similarly, letting you reposition a material wherever you need. Just hover over the material on the left, hold down the left mouse button or trackpad, and drag it to your preferred spot.

## **Delete a Material**

To remove a material, hover over it on the left side of the screen. An ‘x’ will appear in the bottom right corner. Click the ‘x’ and the material will be deleted from the system.
