> **Important:** All Texture Map > Fill options require UV coordinates, a texture map assigned to the model, and the Texture On switch active.

## Fill Mat

The Fill Material button embeds the chosen material into the texture map image, hosting both RGB (color) and M (material) information. When the Texture On toggle is active, the texture map and embedded material are linked and displayed together as a single MRGB (material and RGB color) layer.

> **Note:** The example above demonstrates when the Texture On toggle is disabled, the model displays the selected primary color and material chosen in the left toolbar.

## FillColor

The Fill Color button fills the texture map with the selected primary color, completely replacing any previous color.

## FillGrad

The Fill Gradient button tints the texture map by filling it with a gradient using the primary and secondary colors.
