Hi guys
sorry for my English.
Today I've update Dimension, but now I've lost more free material in the program:
Metal Galvanized
Aluminium
Titanium
I can't find it anywhere! Help me please

Hi Tatiana,
In this update, most of the starter assets in Dimension were replaced with Substance Materials.
Names and appearances may have changed but the materials are much more customizable.
More info on Substance Materials can be found here: Supported material file types
Let us know if you run into any other questions!
Regards,
Pete

translation = yes Adobe update buggered your files but any Dn file that uses the missing materials will still have a copy inside which you can use the dropper to get
Workaround to repair the mess because you do want these materials in your Dimension UI...
If you made backups before trusting Adobe updates then skip these steps
to get them back you will have to install the old version of Dimension
any of the older versions have the files you need
this will roll back your Dimension to recover the material assets

to bring the missing assets into the current version of Dimension follow these steps;
Note that the new version is just Dimension not Dimension CC... that opens a different can of worms but it helps you tell them apart

copy the missing materials out of the old metal folder and drop them into the new translucent folder... not the new metal folder because they changed the naming system on some of their codes
at this point your ui will have the materials {and they work!} but the change in name system buggers the deplay icons
final note; "aluminum" will just show as "material"... I don't feel hacking the subcode is worth the effort to fix this & the material works so its just because of the inconsistent naming system used by the coders
