trying to figure out 1.1

I've just switched over to 1.1 from beta and I have a few questions I hope someone here can answer.
I'm having trouble trying to creat / edit materials in max. Is there a method to doing this or do I read up on the studio part?
Once a material is made how can you see it in max to set UVW's ?

To create a Maxwell material in the Max material editor, select Maxwell MXM from the Material Browser. Then you can either create a new one or select one that is already made. If you create a new mxm or edit an existing one, be sure to refresh the preview in mxed to show your changes in the Max material editor. In mxed, there is a little eye-shaped icon at the top right. Click on that and make sure the bitmap that you want to show in the viewport is checked. It usually works. I'm not sure if having UV mapping on your objects is required for the texture to show in the viewport. I don't have Max open right now.
Hope this helps.
