How to use local material instead of the cloud？

Omniverse Isaac Sim
1

When I use Isaac sim, probably because of the network problem, I always fail to download materials from the cloud, and it takes a long time to start training. So I hope to read local materials instead of downloading from the cloud.

So I first add the location of the downloaded materials in .bashrc

export RTX_MATERIALDB_MDL_PATHS=/opt/nvidia/mdl/vMaterials_2
export MDL_PATH=/opt/nvidia/mdl/vMaterials_2
export CARB_DISABLE_SEARCH_REMOTE_ASSETS=1

But this still doesn’t work.

After that I set the material path in the preferences in the software as shown in the picture, but it still doesn’t work

I want to know how to specify the material path as a local path?

Hi @3031316709 Isaac Sim 2023.1.0-hotfix.1 is EOL. Could you please switch to our latest stable version Isaac Sim 4.5 or Isaac Sim 5.0? Thanks
