Materials

The Materials tab in Settings allows you to configure two key elements used across the Materials catalogue:

1. Material currency - the currency applied to all material prices.

2. Parameter templates - the list of attributes and their possible values that users can apply to materials.

1. Material Currency

Defines the currency used across Materials catalogue and their prices. By default, the value is set to USD currency.
