# Material Palettes
In the Template Editor, every model has assigned a material palette.
When you export a .glb model, these will be included as part of the model, making it very easy to edit them in tools like Blender or Substance Painter.
## What is a Material Palette?
To make it easy to switch between color and material settings, we have created a set of material palettes for you to choose from. They are named after their intented use, but many work great on multiple types of objects!
## Material Slots
Each palette has four defined materials slots.
They come with a color setting and basic PBR settings:
* Metalness
* Specular
* Roughness
* Emission
* Transparancy
## How are slots assigned?
Today, the material slots are predefined by the Sloyd team.
### Most objects
Typically, what you'll see is:
1. The biggest part of the object
2. Second biggest part of the object
3. Details
4. Glass or smaller details
### Buildings
On buildings, the slots are consistantly laid out like this:
1. Walls
2. Roofs
3. Window frames and details
4. Glass
## AI Editing
If you go to the Material Tab, you can use AI prompting to get your desired materials!
