AutoCAD/Materials

Question
Autocad Architecture 2009
When i select render/materials nothing happens.
How do i get materials to open ?

Answer
This may seem like a silly question but, did you install the materials when you installed Autocad??  I believe they're only installed when you do a custom installation and include them, just like the Express Tools.  

If not, you can always do a repair and add the materials.  Make sure you select custom install, that's where you'll find the materials and express tools.

If that doesn't work, let me know and we can dig deeper.
