I’ll try to forward this feature request elsewhere, but it just occurred to me that material selection could usefully be a variable! Then when I need to rebuild a part via composite or other operation that winds up replacing vs updating a part, I can reliably keep the same material as used before. Appearance setting might go along with that, but the material is more important to the computed properties and DFM.
This also helps if I’m making a lot of parts that get fastened together, and I want to machine all of them from the same material, and keep it organized.
I have been following your Competitions and sometimes you work in inches and you want the mass in pounds, but the material specs are only available in METRIC units on my version of Onshape. so I cannot produce an answer in pounds. What do I do?
Very helpful. Thank you brother

Hello! Do you know if I can create a texture from a photo here?
