on "Materials" in the PWS and choose "Import Material". That is standard for loading any material.

 

Navigate to where the material you want is stored and select it. A search for a file that you know the name of ("porcelain.mat") is always a worthy gambit for locating where a file is stored.

 

I believe porcelain.mat is installed with the standard dataset

 

In the case of my V17 the location is:

 

C:\Program Files\Hash Inc\V17.0\Data\Materials\Geometry

 

 

Don't expect A LOT from porcelain; it is able to somewhat smooth the appearance of a surface, but good splining will get you more.
