About 2D and 3D Section Display Components and Materials
2D and 3D section object consist of a number of display components which can be determined by materials.
When you assign materials to an object, you assign one material to each display component of a object. For example,
you assign a wood material to the frame of window and a glass component to the glass of a window.
When you create a 2D or 3D section object from building objects, the material assignments of the source objects are
applied to the section. You do not assign a material directly to a 2D/3D section. The section takes its material assignments
