To add more SAF materials to the mapping list, click Add.

See Add More SAF Materials (Material Mapping - Import SAF).

Note: If you map incoming SAF Cross Sections to Archicad Profiles by name (Profile Mapping - Import panel), then you do not need to map their materials, because Archicad Profiles include a Building Material.
