I’ll try the redirectors in folder suggestion and report back. Any suggestions for fixing the other stuff?
So, I tried right clicking on Brick_Smith in the shelf and selected the “create material” option, which pulled up the material editor, which was filled with a bunch of error messages:

Maybe the problem has something to do with the material shader?
I was having this problem earlier, which appears to be a problem for all users on macs - I followed the insutrctions, which appears to fix the problem, but maybe it didn’t? If it didn’t I’d expect other metal material to not work either though and I’m pretty sure they work just fine, so maybe it’s unrelated
