Before
For enterprise users, in order to use the same texture across materials such as furniture, flooring, K&B, and Closet, it is necessary to upload and create this texture separately for each of the furniture, flooring, and parametric models, which can be very time-consuming.
After
Now, you only need to upload the texture image to the Original Material Catalog, and you can simultaneously publish a single texture across various industry lines including furniture, flooring, K&B, and Closet. This greatly reduces the time and effort required for material maintenance.
