to Objects
To assign a model material to objects:
1. Select an object on the build tray (see "Selecting Objects" on page 5-21).
2. Display the material drop-down list and select the desired material.
To separate an object into independent, component parts (each an stl file),
see "Splitting Objects into Components" on page 5-23.
Color Selection (Connex3 printers)
You can assign materials to models using a color palette if certain
combinations of materials are available.

When an object is selected, its properties—including model materials—are
displayed on the Model Toolbar and on the ribbon.

When you de-select the object on the build tray, it is displayed, by default,
with the color of the material you selected. In the same way, you can
assign model materials to each of the independent objects on the build
tray.
