Controls & options
| Control | What it does |

| Usage filter | Show All, Used or Unused materials. This filter is not a decision that a material is safe to delete. |

| Recent Actions | Open the status area to read recent messages and operation details. |
Behavior and limits
Selecting materials in UMM and selecting geometry in SketchUp are different selections. Material actions use the material selection; geometry operations also depend on the SketchUp selection and edit context.
Use the search, usage and isolation filters together carefully. If a material seems missing, clear those filters and Refresh.
