In the bottom left-hand corner of the Material/Color Change dialog, in the Apply to field (see Figure 1), you will find a drop-down. Here, you can select the components to which you want to apply the material or color change. This can be one component, a group of components, components in a selected position or all the same type of components in the drawing area.
