Is there a way to apply all materials at once?

What I mean by, in Poser (2014, specifically) is there an option to mass apply a material to all zones? Most of the time I don't use the legitimate textures; I use materials that I've gotten (like Dark Mats, Dirty Pretty, Floral, Gothic Revival...all those ParrotDolphin materials)
So, more or less, a material that can be applied to anything.
I hate having to go through and select each zone to apply materials too. It's annoying as heck. Is there anything like "apply to all" or something?

    In the upper right corner in the Materials area, there is a triangle. If you click on that triangle, one of the options in the list that pops up is "Apply Material to All" (or something to that effect), which will apply the material held by the currently selected shading group to all other shading groups in the current working/selected object/figure.

    I'm not sure what you mean ):
    I went to both Materials Room and just clicked it from the library and I'm not seeing anything.

    It's not in the corner menu. Left click > drag to select all of the nodes, then right click in an empty space (as if you were adding a new node). You'll then see apply to all.

    Right-click into the material window. Choose “Select all”. Right click again and select “Apply to all”. Poser will tell you that it will replace the material settings of all mat zones. Click OK.

    Hint: Poser will overwrite the old material settings of the other mat zones, but it will not delete the old unused nodes. Hold down the shift key and click on “Remove detached nodes” in the Wacro menu. (Only in Poser 6 and 7, P5 users will have to delete the old nodes manually.)
