Welcome to Paragon Materials

Paragon Materials is a companion to Paragon Design and allows you to customize the lumber and plate options avaialable while designing trusses.

Every Component you create has both a Lumber List and a Plate List that control what materials are available when designing it. When you Upgrade and Analyze a Component, the lumber will be upgraded using Lumber Types from the Component's Lumber List and plates will be upgraded using plates from the Component's Plate List.
