If you choose Selected Component from the Apply to drop-down list, you can use the check box Equal Material/Color. If you check this box, InstantPlanner will change the material or color of all the details on the component which are made of the same material or are the same color as the selected detail in the drop-down list Surface Name.
Example:
To change the color or material of four table legs on one office desk in InstantPlanner, follow the instructions below:
Position an office desk component in the drawing area.
Right-click on the desk. A pop-up menu appears.
Choose Material/Color from the pop-up menu. The Material/Color Change dialog box is displayed.
Click on the arrow in the drop-down list next to the heading Surface Name and choose Leg.
In the Predefined field to the right, the drop-down list contains the entry Chrome. This means that the default material/color for desk legs is chrome. (The component may also have an RGB color or texture as its default material/color. If this is the case, the RGB color or texture field will be displayed automatically).
In the Apply to field in the bottom left-hand corner of the dialog, choose Selected Component from the drop-down list, if it is not already selected.
If you want to change other details on the component which are in chrome, check the box Equal Material/Color. If you only want to change the legs, uncheck the Equal Material/Color box, or leave it empty.
Choose the color or material you want from the Predefined drop-down list.
Click on OK or Apply.
