Step by step:

  1. Double-click the Material Instance you want to modify to open it in the Material Instance Editor.
  2. Click the Hierarchy button in the Toolbar, then choose SketchUpMaster > Open In Editor from the contextual menu. You’ll see the graph for the master material open up in the Material Editor.
  3. From the main menu, select File > Save As, and save the master Material to a new Asset in your Project.
  4. Go back to your Material Instance, and find the General > Parent setting in the **Details **panel. Set this reference to point to your new master Material.

Now, when you modify the graph for your master Material, those changes will affect the instance.

Hope that helps.
