Revit 2018 Materials fail to access

[Anonymous]

Have downloaded many times the full Revit 2018 packages (including parts 1 thru 3), all the tools and add-ons. It's great but I have no access to control my materials when modeling in 2018. I am well-experienced in Revit and am confused as to how I cannot access my materials. Is there a real solution?

I have done all the tips/tricks on the Autodesk site and still no access. My Revit is set as a company access on a remote location controlled by IT. 

Thanks Ray Kluk

Maybe directed at me, but API I had no idea where else to post my question. Apologies to those who are upset. Maybe since you are programmers you can help or direct me to the right place. Thanks again

To be honest and frank, no solutions here solved my issue. However, I completely uninstalled all the 2018 Revit files on my computer, did a fresh install and made a secondary materials folder. After everything was installed, I cut the files from the materials folder, put them into my secondary materials folder (materials 2) then renamed the original materials folder to "materials x", then renamed my "Materials 2 folder" to materials and now it is all working. Thanks everyone for your help, but this one I had to figure on my own.
