Rhino 6 - Can't change materials

[user2391]

Hi, I hope my question will be silly and fast fixing, since today I can’t change materials on my models.

I used to generate a layer with a proper material, and then creating same material’s object in the same layer but now it’s not working.
I still can change color layer but not material, material column looks freezed

(not running any command)

Thanks for you time

Hello- please run the SystemInfo command in Rhino and copy/paste the results here.

Are you trying to change a material in a Block?

@pascal

SystemInfo

The Computer are pretty new and strong, if this was the point, or tell me which line you need?
Thank you for answering

@user2391

No, I’m not.
Should be a setting issue

or tell me which line you need?

Nothing less than the entire outcome of that command.

Hello - if you click on the (faint) white dots here

nothing happens, is that what you are reporting?

Yeah, when double cliking on there I can’t change the material,
The other columns, like type or color, are editable as always but not the materials one.

In the PluginManager, please check that the Renderer Development Kit UI plug-in is both Loaded and Enabled.

thenkyou for answering, the renderer development kit ui isnt enabled and loaded, infact down in the same window I have the install (installa) botton, should I have somwhere the install file? or should I install from zero Rhino?

After just enabling it the materials are still unchangable, so the problem isn’t fixed.

How’s possible it has been unistalled by itself?

Just enabling will not suffice. You also need to load that plug-in. Right-click on the plug-in name and pick “Load”.

Alternatively, you could try to “Repair” the installation from the Windows Control Panel.
If you keep having problems with this, I would see what happens when the Lumion plug-in is disabled.

The load process has been done automatically after restart, the problem look like it’s fixed, many thanks.

Right now
has appeared this 2 window asking to load plug-in now, but doesn’t generate any issue.

One more question with “system info” may I ask you what have you checked?

I would try a repair of that installation.

Everything.

So I should download the setup file from mcneel.com and run the setup with the repair option, understood.
Once again many thanks for you time and kindness

No. You don’t need to download anything. Just go to the Windows Control Panels → Programs and Features. Find Rhino 6, right-click and pick “Change”. Then pick “Repair”.

the repair procedure didn’t worked as expected, still have those problems when starting the program
