Document-style view in the preview window

The material parameters can be displayed in tabular form in the Preview window. The preview window displays a table with all the material parameters sorted in it.

The table is in fact a standard SCIA Engineer document table and consequently its format can be adjusted to meet any specific requirements. The adjustment can be done the same way as with any other document table.
