To speed up the display of the sample spheres in the Browser, the smaller of the sample spheres (those displayed when you choose View Small Icons or View List + Icons) can be saved as thumbnail images in the material library file. (See the Procedures for this topic, above.) Keep in mind that the saved thumbnails increase the size of the material library file. View List Displays the materials and maps in list format. Blue spheres are materials. Green parallelograms are maps. The green parallelograms turn red if Show Map in Viewport is on for a material. View List + Icons Displays the materials and maps in a list with small icons. View Small Icons Displays the materials and maps as small icons. As you move the mouse over the icons, tooltip labels pop up, showing you the name of the material or map. View Large Icons Displays the materials and maps as large icons. The large icons are labeled with the name of the material or map and are displayed using progressive refinement-samples are rendered quickly, with large pixels, then rendered a second time in greater detail. Update Scene Materials from Library Updates materials in the scene with the materials of the same name stored in the library. When you click Update Scene Materials from Library, the Update Scene Materials dialog on page 5377 is displayed. This dialog lists materials in the library that have the same name as materials in the scene. In the list, select the materials you want to update in the scene, and then click OK. If no materials exist in the scene that match the names in the library, an alert informs you of this. This button is available only when the Browser is viewing a library. Delete from Library Removes the selected material or map from the library display. The library on disk is not affected until you save it. Use Open to reload the original library from disk. This button is only active when you select a named material that exists in the current library. Material/Map Browser | 5297
