Hello, (First I apologize for my english I'm not native english speaker

)
I'm having trouble in changing material orientation for my solid element.
Here is the thing: I defined an orthotropic (3D) material & element/property type = volume elements = solid.
When choosing volume elements, I can't change material orientation and the x axis is automaticaly assigned.
How can I change this?!
