I experienced Discovery not saving correctly my custom material properties when I enter properties in MPa rather than Pa. This resulted with multiple entries with a Tool icon, which I can not delete.

Is there a way to browse my material library and edit names, data, duplicate or delete entries?

Thanks

Hi Naresh Patre , thank you for your reply.

I did checked this help document already but did not resolved my issue:

- custom materials are not saved correctly when I set data in Mpa rather than Pa

- I still get many entries with a tool icon which I can not delete.

- What does tool icon means?

Please see the screenshot posted above,

Thanks!

Hello Luca

There doesn't seem any direct option to delete the user defined materials. However, you can edit their names from the option shown below:

I will be submitting a request to the development team for providing options for managing materials.
