Render materials get lost in ACA12

[ntellery]

Anyone else have this happen.

Certain files keep dropping the render materials and no regen will get them back.

Worked out that if you swap to another display rep and back again it will find them again.

12 seems ditzy with render materials!

FYI ConvertOldMaterials is supposed to convert old render materials. Not sure it works so well.   Gloss Paint for instance doesn't seem to convert very well and I had to add Reflectivity to get any shine.  Seems Gloss paint from 2009 doesn;t convert to an appropriate material in 12.
