Hi there,
First of all and independently of your question, please, update your Punch program.
See the updates' page
http://forums.punchsoftware.com/WebX/.fad7a84/Current version is 19.0.7
Regarding the materials' tab:
As the Materials and Paint colors can be applied only in 3D mode, they are visible only when a 3D window is activated => open a 3D window => the Materials tab as well as the Paint Colors tab will be visible (see attached)
