Thanks for your reply!
I have created an Arch Wall, added a Material, selected the Arch Wall. However at this stage I am not able to select "Show all" and "Add property". In fact there is no context menu at all in the area of the data tab.
The attached picture shows all locations where I did a mouse right click (indicated by the red points).

So how can I select "Show all" and "Add property"?

You don't need to do this for a Arch Wall. You already assigned a Material to the wall.

You only need to add the "Material" property manually when the object has no Material property.

OP, side note, to benefit from advancements in Materials and Arch WB please consider using v0.19 like many of us here on the forum. Just backup you 0.18 files and then open them in 0.19 (and backup frequently). You should be good to go.
Alone you go faster. Together we go farther

This doesn't work in 0.18, only in 0.19.

Hi guys, thanks for your guidance.
The way the material can be assigned to the object is now clear to me.
However it is still not clear to me how a image can be assigned to an object or a material. The introduction says just "The following image formats are supported: ...".
Thank you for clarifying also this point.
PS: I have moved to v0.19_pre

I think you are looking at the wrong section of the readme. You have to expand the "Getting Started" guide for a introduction of the workbench.

The rest is in dept information about the functionality of the workbench :)

I want already to give definitively up telling that I browsed the full Readme file until the end, when I have discovered that the small triangle is not a list bullet but an expansion trigger. How things can become suddenly clear once you have the right information available! Thanks for having helped.
For documentation purposes I have added the following picture. There may be others that need a hint to understand how the full description can be shown.

You ate right. It might be not clear this section is expandable. Thanks to @Kunda1. He refactored the readme a bit. Now it should be much cleater how the readme works. :)
