On the Job Setup dialog box, at the very bottom, the appearance (material type) can be selected.
In the selection choices there is a line (several lines) that say, "Add new texture . . ."
**HOW do you do this?
**Are there other materials available that we can import into our program?
**Where are the directions to do this in the online help?
**Why is there NOT a "search" for a topic/word on the online help?

Adding Custom Materials
Additional materials can be added to the library using the list itself. You can add a category (folder) which groups your textures using <Create mew category...>. You can also add extra textures under any category using <Add new texture...>.
Alternatively, you can copy an image file (JPG, BMP or TIF) of the material or image you wish to render the job with into the Textures folder within the 'Application Data Folder'. You can open the Application Data Folder from within the program using the File ► Open Application Data Folder menu command.
Shading textures can be obtained from sources such as the internet, clipart libraries or simply create your own from a digital or scanned photographs. For good quality results the image needs to be approximately 1000 pixels x 1000 pixels. The texture image is simply scaled proportionally in X and Y to fit the longest side of the job.
