considered the primary model material ("Model-1"). It is assigned to objects
that do not have a material assignment when you place them on the build tray.
For example, since stl files do not contain information about the model
material, Objet Studio assigns the primary model material to them. Also, if you
try to insert objdf files whose assigned materials are not recognized by your
version of Objet Studio, you can insert the file by substituting the primary
model material for the missing materials.

with multiple materials, the material in the top drop-down menu remains
assigned to the object until you select another material.
assignment does not match the settings on the Tray Settings ribbon, these
settings are changed automatically. However, if there is an object already on
the build tray whose materials do not match the material assignment in the
objdf file, you cannot place the new object on the tray. To print this object, you
have the following options:
❒ Instead of printing it on the same build tray, print the new object as a
separate job.
❒ Change the materials assigned to objects on the build tray to match those
assigned to the new object (see "Changing the Model Material" on the
next page and "Assigning a Model Material to Objects" on page 5-26).
❒ Change the materials assigned to the new object before inserting it, so
there is no conflict with the settings on the Tray Settings ribbon.
