In the Original Material Library, you only need to upload a material image to publish a newly created material simultaneously across various industries, including furniture, paving, Kitchen & Bath and Closet, significantly saving time and effort for material maintenance. This document will give you a detailed explanation of how to create a material in the Original Material Library.
