Hello. I've been trying to attach custom materials to families, and for the most part I've figured out how to get them to display in my renderings properly. However, I have a couple of families that I can't get rid of the default grey. When I move the image around in 3D I can see glimpses of my assigned material but it then goes back to grey. Am I somehow assigning more than one material to these objects?

Remember this: THE PROJECT RULES. Once a material is defined in a project, it always controls no matter what you change in the family.

Thank you. I remember reading this in other posts so I assigned the materials from within the project and not the family. Is there something I'm missing?

If you have assigned the material in the project, then you would not be seeing the default grey. So, you are missing something and it is probably in the family. Edit the family and inspect the item in question looking at the assigned material.
If you can't find the problem you might post the family here.
BTW - There are some error checking procedures you can do with new families. One is to open a new project, load your family and place it. That should eliminate the project's settings if you material is unique to your family.
