Searching by Complex Material Component
The Material BOM section of the material color manager allows you to search the material color library by material color for a given complex material component.
1. Enter the name of a color in the Search field for a given component. This searches the material color library for those material colors for the complex material that have the specified color for the given component.
For example, if you have a zipper composed of tape, teeth, slider, stop, and pull, and you enter “silver” into the Search field for the teeth component, you are telling the system to search for those material colors for the zipper that have silver teeth.

The search does not support combination searches. For example, you cannot search for those zippers that have black tape and silver teeth.
