They had the option that if you Clicked on this deal at the Botton Right of the Color and Materials you could Click Apply it to work with Color and Materials but when they got rid Materials and added in Material Generator Materials got removed and then they added in Material Manager in its place where you would scroll through to find a Material you are wanting
Too be Honest though that style would make some people more mad because it would be harder to pick a Color i agree though having more options is better but i would love to see the old style BrickColor with a Button that says custom if you cant find what you are looking for
This is a great step towards making the workflow in Studio faster but I have some suggestions
I noticed there’s no option to search the materials by the material type (Concrete, Metal,…) like Material Manager? An option to search by the folder the materials are in would be great too.
Semi-related, are there any plans to let users create variables that include the color and material data that they can quickly apply to parts (ex: Wood variable that has the wood material and color brown)? This can allow developers to change the variable instead of having to select every part and change the properties manually.
Just to clarify, do you mean a variable you would use as part of a script, or something else?
Do you mean some kind of a new combined color / material picker that would have presets for both?
I seem to be encountering an issue with my Materials menu, frankly it is quite frustrating. It is greyed out under both the Home and Model tabs. I have tried disabling and re-enabling the button but it doesn’t appear to change. Bear in mind I do have this new beta feature enabled. I have also tried disabling/re-enabling this feature, and it remains the same.
Anyone else experiencing this? Any fixes?
Hmm, can you try this one more time?
- Disable the beta
- Restart Studio
- Enable the beta
- Restart Studio again
This seems similar to the issues that were initially reported, but pushed a fix out for. If this is still happening after you take these steps, can you send me your logs and computer specs? Thanks!

don’t know if this has been mentioned already but i noticed this minor bug
when the ribbon bar is collapsed, opening the new material picker expands it and clicking off of it collapses it again, but closing it with keyboard (Esc) keeps the ribbon bar expanded
heres what i mean:

The feel when for no reason is got removed normal pick and moved material picker in another window but now just got back with 3D reference material show and it still in beta and buggy…BRUH 
I’m talking about the latter, a property that combines color, material and other properties a part could have into a neat package that you can just add easily to a part via the Properties panel
