I am working through the doghouse tutorial, and am stuck on the last step. The materials step. The tut says pick faces and then bring up the face operations menu. From there set choose material. I don't find that option see image below:

So what am I missing?

You must be working with Wings 0.8.7 or 7a. This command has been changed. Create materials from the primitives tool set (right click with nothing selected) and assign/edit mats in the outliner window.

Quick tip is to just create one mat in the primitives menu,
and then rightclick the material in the outliner and use duplicate to create more.
that way you don't have to clear a selection of faces and stuff to assign a material to it.
As a matter of fact,there's no need to create any mats at all...*slaps head*...
Just duplicate the default one from the outliner window... :)

Thanks all for the help!

BDW, your link is broken, though.

Now, time to move on to the hand tut!
