    $\begingroup$ It's not necessary to add another material slot (which is what done by hitting + button) to assign faces to a material; selecting material slot, selecting faces and clicking Assign is enough. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ @MrZak You did it again, talking about a + button without telling which one, which is why I was confused at first... :-) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Again? Strange. I meant "the + button on the right" which is mentioned in your answer so I assumed it's somehting you know about. What I was pointing out is that it might be not necessary to press that button at all. And there aren't 2 lists of materials - on the top screenshot, above is list of slots, below is the dropdown with list of materials. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Thanks for your answer @PhiLho! That's exactly the problem I was struggling with. :) $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Question very related to this one and your answer (hence, doesn't warrant separate question): if the goal is to subdivide a material into an arbitrary number of materials (say 5 or 10), would this approach work or are you constrained by the mesh? $\endgroup$
