How can we help?

Why can't you add all Material types to the Favorites tab in Lumion 9.5 and older versions?

1. Here's why

It is currently only possible to add Standard Materials and variations of the Standard Material from the built-in Material Library to the Favorites tab.

In other words, it is not possible to add the following materials:

  • Indoor category:
    • PureGlass
  • Outdoor category:
    • PureGlass
  • Nature category:
    • Water
    • Waterfall
    • Leaves
  • Custom category:
    • Color
    • Glass
    • PureGlass
    • Lightmap
    • Imported Material
    • Water
    • Waterfall
    • Landscape
    • Billboard
    • Invisible

Please also note that it is not possible to name or rename materials on the Favorites tab.

This is a technical constraint.

2. Workaround

2.1: Save your materials as files and load them when needed:
