hi, I am new here. I have a problem with the material of a 3D object

I had imported an 3D object from the Internet. I want to change the brightness of this object by clicking buttons and use the “metallic” function. However, when I checked the inspector of the sub_objects (polygons), I cannot the “material” folder. I can see and unfold the folder, but I am unable to change and access to any value of it.
If you know how to solve this problem, please give me a hand.
Thank you.

hi, did you try to set import settings for materials. click on your imported model in project view and in inspector go to materials tab, and choose “use external materials” in location slot. and then try to edit your material.
