How to change component materials in 3D Block

Hello,

 

I am a new user of chief architect and have a question about changing materials on the same 3D block. When I open the object and select the materials tab - it isn't allowing me to choose different components of the bookcase to edit it's material. I am hoping to edit different parts of the bookshelf and select materials based off of the actual version of this bookcase. Is there a way to explode the block so that I could tap into each portion of the object and select it's material without having to build the object myself? 

 

If it helps - I downloaded the 3D file directly from the vendors website.

 

I'd appreciate any advice or tips - thanks!

Which vendor and what file type? You might be able to edit it in Sketchup first.
