About Applying Materials
  1. Under the Materials node of the product tree, right-click on the material.
  2. Select Open Material from the context menu.
    The material is loaded in session and the spec tree is refreshed thereby displaying the opened material.

This feature gives you a clearer understanding for in-session circumstances. It offers a quick and simple way to handle use cases where materials are not always needed, or not needed in session until a certain point.
