Surface pane missing

I am trying to add a texture to a Daz object. I tried using a Sketchup import, then creating a primitive (from a tutorial) but in both cases all instruction leads to the 'Surface pane'.
I don't have one.
I looked through all the menus, drop downs, etc. Where is the surface pane?

Got it. Thanks.
