1. There are three ways to transfer materials

The Materials Menu is split into the Material Library and Material Settings Editor: 

Common features are present in the Material Settings Editor at all times:

All Materials also have a Context Menu: 

• Copying and pasting a material.
• Saving and loading a material from a file.
• Saving and loading a Material Set from a file.
• Please note that textures with the yellow triangle exclamation mark warning icon can't be copied or saved to a material file because they were assigned to the model in your 3D/CAD software outside of Lumion.
  
  

2. Copying and pasting a material

Lumion makes it easier than ever to copy and paste materials.

2.1: Use the Copy and Paste buttons to transfer the material to a different surface:

3. Saving and loading a material

3.1: Use the Save and Load buttons to transfer the material to a different surface in the current Project, or  to a different Imported Model in another Project using the '.LMAT' Material File:

4. Saving and loading a Material Set from a file

You can save all of the materials of an Imported Model to a Material Set file, either for back-up purposes, or because you want to transfer all or some of the materials to a different Imported Model.

To make sure the materials are transferred to the right surfaces, Lumion uses the Imported Material names from your 3D/CAD software to find matches.

For that reason, it is a good idea to consistently use specific material names for your favourite materials when working on materials in your 3D/CAD software.

4.1: To save or load a Material Set, please select the Materials tab in Build Mode and click on an Imported Model that you have assigned some Lumion materials to.

4.2: Click on the Load Material Set or Save Material Set button to load or save all of the materials of an Imported Model to an '.LMS' Material Set file:
