In this tab, you can create polygon selections from the leaves.

These can be used to assign materials to the individual parts.

Selections

There is a check box for each of the leaf sub-layers: Leaf, Veins and Stem/Midvein.

Clicking in the check box will create a selection tag, in the Objects Manager, for the applicable item.

Clicking on the appropriate selection tag will enable you to assign layers, such as materials, to this item, individually.
