- Choose Scan Selection or Scan Model for the intended scope.

- Review the plan, then choose Apply.
Expected result

Controls & options
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Simple | Use the Current and New material lists for a one-to-one replacement. |
| Batch | Prepare multiple source-to-destination mappings. |
| Scan Model / Scan Selection | Choose and scan the intended scope. |
| Mapping filter | Show All, Unmapped or Mapped source materials. |
| New Material | Choose the destination material. |
| Assign Selected | Add the selected current materials to the replacement plan. This prepares mappings; it is not the final Apply. |
| Remove All | Clear the prepared mapping rows. |
| Apply | Execute the prepared mappings for the current scan scope. |
Behavior and limits
Review the source and destination materials before applying. A destination may already be used elsewhere; replacement does not mean that unrelated objects should be added to a saved variant family.
After changes to geometry or scope, rescan and review the mapping plan.
