How do I find the material in the Inspector?

Unity Engine

Hello!

I am dealing with a demo scene of LUX URP Essentials.
It has a plane with a nice material.
For a test, I would like to use this material on another game object.

However, I don’t know where in the folders the material is located.
To locate, I select the Plane in the Inspector, and I find the material.

I thought there would be an easy to click it, and it would highlight the .mat in the Project Hierarchy.

However, I didn’t find how to do that.
Where do I have to click? Or is there no way to do that in the Inspector?

Thank you.

This is what it looks like for me:

Ah, I got it:

Right click the Material Preview rectangle, then “Select Material”.

FWIW, are you sure you just didn’t expand the Materials list in the inspector? For example:

7576624--938710--upload_2021-10-16_0-29-20.png

You seem to have had that collapsed.

If I click on any of these materials, and I have the Project window open somewhere in the UI, it will select that material in the project view.
