How to add a material to a part?

lauren_tavendale

I'm new to Onshape, I'm a Solidworks user, so finding the change quite difficult.

I have right clicked on the part and I can easily change the colour of the part, but how do I add a wood appearance or glossy plastic etc. 

I have right-clicked in the bottom right-hand corner after assigning the 'material' but I do not understand what all the mass stuff means and the parts do not change appearance. 

Thanks 
Lauren

Currently, Onshape does not have this option. Most of us would like to be able to do this too. Please vote on this improvement request here: https://forum.onshape.com/discussion/7806/textures-and-appearances-like-solidworks#latest

Here is a neat feature that splits the surface of the part to look like grain:
