Copy Order Settings to all 3D Models
Often the Material and 3D Service settings you apply to one file are actually consistent across an entire project. To copy the settings across all 3D models:
Choose the 3D Model with the correct settings.
Click on the Options button in the upper right corner
Select Clone settings to other items.
Now each model in this project will have the same settings (Material, Service, Quantity)
You can still adjust specific settings that vary - such as a post-processing method or quantity.

Upload one or more models to a basket.
Choose Advanced Comparison.
You will see a listing of all available materials with a listing of Technical Criteria.
You can Sort each Column to organize the information.

There are probably certain criteria which are most interesting for selecting certain materials. For instance depending on the application the tensile strength might be the determining factor.
Navigate to the Advanced Comparison.
Choose Edit Columns in the upper right
Select or deselect the column names that you would like to view.
