pacificstart Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I am looking at the materials list and can’t figure out where certain materials are coming from. Is there a way to locate where a particular material is being used? I am using X8. I seen a similar question asked a few years ago and apparently there was no such feature back then....

DavidJPotter Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 In X9 and X8, what you do is "look" and then, in the future you decide to be a little more methodical while creating a plan file so this does not happen to you again. I am NOT being mean-spirited, just factual. X10 may or may not be a solution but YOU can always be your solution, always. DJP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMc Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 For a material go to 3d, plan materials and edit the material there so it will be obvious. Blend with pink, or make the pattern pink or something obvious. Find it in a 3D view. Once you know where it is undo. No answer for an object.

Dermot Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 In X10, the material list and the schedules now have a "find in plan" feature that will allow you to more easily locate objects in your plan. In prior versions, it took more manual work. One trick I used to use was to make a copy of the plan and remove objects until I found the one I wanted. The Delete Objects tool is good way of getting rid of lots of objects fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
