kitomov, Once a family is loaded into a project, the materials are controlled there.  So if you did not set the couch pillow material to an image file in the family before you initially loaded it, you can not change it in the family (without removing the family and the material from the project).  

I am pretty sure that this is now your problem so set the material in the project now.

Ok....i see,so what i have to do is delete all instances of that object,then load it(not as a component but in general), replace with the materials and images i want,then save it back and load it anew in the project?It's not the couch only,all my objects are like that...do u think that would really do?

Thanks,

Kaloyan

Hello Sir, I am replying to the thread regarding your problem (I'm very sorry, I'm newbie with Revit). I would like to know whether you would like to share your shown furniture because I was looking for a similar kind.
