This is great for importing floor tiles for use on indoor levels. However, there is no means to set this up for models that have already been imported into MAX.

Currently, it doesn't seem that the Material Type works (I've not been able to get it to work on my imported models), but I am guessing it's in the plans to work at some point. Someone who is creating a level may have imported a model and forgotten to set up the material type and would need to do that. They would not have easy access to do this unless Material Type were added to the Material properties tab ... or they may have set it initially when importing their model, but now want to change it to another type.
