What is the easiest way to bring a material created in one file to an other file?

That being the official way.

The 'easiest' is to copy an element between two open Archicad sessions.

Attributes of the pasted element arrive in the recipient file.

Thank you Eduardo and Dwight.

Yesterday I started copying and pasting a custom element (w/ custom materials) from one file to other and the "fixed" wood & mirror materials didn't come right. That was when I posted the question in here. Then I did the process described by Eduardo and it worked perfect. Thank you any way for both of you for taking the time to help me out with this.

Enjoy the weekend.
