Material groups in materialManager will now be validated for grain patterns

Error message because a grain pattern has been entered for the new material while the corresponding material group does not have a grain pattern.

Using the pencil to the right of the material code, the grain for the material group can now also be adjusted.

From now on, the grain pattern for a material group is also checked in materialManager. In this way, it is ensured in the materialManager directly that you have the correct board savailable for your optimisation in intelliDivide, either with or without grain. If, for example, you now add a new material (3), which has a grain pattern (4), to an existing material group (1), which does not have a grain pattern (2), then an error message will be displayed.

Do you have material groups in your materialManager that contain both materials with and without grain patterns? Don't worry.  These will only be displayed as invalid when you switch to edit mode and click in a cell there.

You can now also adjust the grain directly in the material group settings. You can reach this via the pencil to the right of your material code.  There you have the choice between "None" , "Lengthwise", "Crosswise" or "No change".
