I'm creating new materials in the Materials library within AC9. There are made with texture maps that I have saved in the project specific library. If I copy the .pln file and the project library to another machine, the new materials are not there even though the texture map is available in the project library.<BR /> <BR /> Is there some way to copy the materials library from machine to machine like the project library.<BR /> <BR /> If not, I assume the new library will not overwrite the older version. How do I keep those custom materials current on all machines. I'd like to merge the old materials, and definitions of them, into the newer library.<BR /> <BR /> Otherwise, I'm constantly recreating materials. <BR /> <BR /> Thanks.</T></DIV> Thu, 16 Mar 2006 00:20:02 GMT Tom Krowka 2006-03-16T00:20:02Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Library-Management/m-p/43121#M34233 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>Probably a basic question....but anyway.

That may foul up the transfer - that is to say make sure the material index numbers are the same across your distribution.
