Add material to selection?

maybe its just a very stupid question, but is there a way to add materials to a selection?
can’t seem to figure it out:spin:

thanks

If you want to assign materials to selected objects, take a look at this script:

blendernation article:

I hope this script will be part of the next blender version.

assigning materials: http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Manual/PartIII/Materials_in_practice

multiple materials on a mesh:

The script is quite neat.:slight_smile:

Otherwise make/find your material. It will be linked to the active object in your selection and you simply use Ctrl+L > Material to link it to the rest of the selected objects.
