Editing nXt/Ar Materials

I am having difficulty editing the nXt/Ar materials. The gray siding is rendering too light and I wanted to darken it. When the edit material dialog box opens I see the material and I can click on the base color sample, the color box opens which allows me to change the setting but the changes are not saving. As soon as I click OK the color returns back to the original. Am I in the wrong editor?

In order to edit the color of an ArMaterial Tile, you have to use the Advanced editor and select the Base from the Material Tree for the tile, as below:

Then you can change that "Base" color, or you could change the Joint color for the tile separately.

We are only able to apply the color changes from our more simple Material Editor dialog to ArMaterials which have a color defined at the top level of the Material Tree, and then only if that material does not have a texture image which has its Strength set to 1.0.
