Rendering Materials changed from update??

[ruga666]

I am in the middle of designing a sign for offices for an overseas champagne company.  I'm not really sure if Autodesk has really changed this, and if they did please do us all a favor and stop touching things like this and add features that we would all benefit from like nesting parts not messing around with the interface of the program.

First of all, some of the materials I was using to apply to my materials like MDF are now just blank materials and don't show any color or texture.  When I tried using the White Oak, a material that actually works I went to right click and edit the material to rotate it 90 it looks like the interface for editing material has also changed? I do not see a way of rotating the material in the advanced settings, and I don't see a way of doing so in any of the identity, appearance or physical tabs.

If anyone can tell me how to rotate materials (I coulda sworn this was one of the easiest things to do in the program) thanks

it also looks like my search bar for my materials has disappeared

One last complaint about the stupid materials, it looks like after the update I can only see my assigned material bodies in Render mode. I can no longer see the material properties in my model space. What the hell is going on? I wish there a way to stop all updates without having to work completely offline. I can't be the only one experiencing these problems

I wish the updates weren't forced..
