	How to fill a material or appearance name into part's iProperties?
	You can directly use appearance and material name also in the BOM. But if you need to fill in these properties as custom iProperties, you can use the following simple iLogic macro: iProperties.Value("Custom","myMaterial") = ThisDoc.Document.ActiveMaterial.DisplayName iProperties.Value("Custom", "myAppearance") = ThisDoc.Document.ActiveAppearance.DisplayName
