Example

This example shows how to set the material from library of an occurrence.

// Obtain the occurrence.
IOccPart part = designer.GetAllOccurrences<IOccPart>().FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name.Value == "Part:1");

// Select a required material from connected library.
List<MaterialInfo> materials = project.ActiveConnection.GetMaterials().ToList();
MaterialInfo material = materials.FirstOrDefault(m => m.Name.Value == "Steel");

// Set its material.
part.Material = material;

// Notice: The possible null references should be handled in the code. This is simplified sample only.

This example shows how to set the material (color) of an occurrence from predefined materials.

// Obtain the occurrence.
IOccBundle bundle = designer.GetAllOccurrences<IOccBundle>().FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name.Value == "MyBundle");

// Select a required material from predefined materials.
List<MaterialInfo> materials = MaterialInfo.GetPredefinedMaterials().ToList();
MaterialInfo material = materials.FirstOrDefault(m => m.Name.Value == "Green");

// Set its material.
bundle.Material = material;

This example shows how to reset the material of an occurrence.

// Obtain the occurrence.
IOccBundle bundle = designer.GetAllOccurrences<IOccBundle>().FirstOrDefault(p => p.Name.Value == "MyBundle");

// Reset its material. (The default color from Designer settings is set.)
bundle.Material = null;
