# Assign Materials

First you have to add the material to your template editor. You can do that clicking on the *Materials* button in the top bar:

Once its added to your product tree, you can assign the material in two simple steps:

1. Selecting the mesh where you want to apply your material
2. And then dragging & dropping our material to a slot

like so:

Alternatively you can also directly drag the material into the 3D viewer onto the part of the mesh that you would like to assign it to:

To remove the assignment simply click on the bin icon on the top left corner of the material assignment:
