Yes, you can, but you should create this material using the corresponding filter in the Material Library, so that all relevant information is available for the module. Furthermore, it is necessary to select a standard group or a standard in such a way that it fits the design standard in the add-on module.
The best way is to go to the Material Library and select the material category and group, as well as the corresponding standard. After that, create a new material (see Image 01).
Then, a corresponding dialog box appears where you can select the material description and the corresponding parameters (see Image 02). The material should then be applicable in the design.
