Rotate material on part

I have AD 2017.1.2 Expert and the associated KeyShot for Alibre.
Is there any way to rotate a material on a part? Neither "Help" nor "Search" found anything on this.
Example:
A 1x3x30 inch board drawn in the horizontal. (like a table edge)
I want to apply a "maple" material.
The material grain runs vertical but my board is drawn horizontal.
Is it even possible to rotate the material or do I have to redraw the board to correspond with the grain?
All above with standard XYZ coords.
Thank you.

DUDE! Tease ain't the word for it. But I think my DUTCH will allow me to understand enough of the DEUTSCH.
In any case I know where to look now.
Thanks George.
My English is not better than your German.
Good luck at experimenting.

Mein Deutsch sehr schlecht ist.

However, it appears that there is a slider for angular position. And one above it for the scale.
