Hi all, I'm fairly new to Revit. I've created a roof but cannot for the life of me get it to render the material that I've chosen. The roof I've used is the generic roof - 125mm. When I try to change element properties I need to go into "Construction" then "Structure" and change the material of a layer called Structure [1]. No matter what I change this to, it only renders one way - grey with some messy hatch. I'm at my wits end! Would welcome any assistance... Thanks, Nathan

You need to set the Revit material to an Accurender material.I have kind of explained this in the attached document I wrote a while back on rendering and materials. At home on the MAC now so don't have Revit fired up to get you a screen shot. [oh where is Revit for OSX!]

Thanks for taking the time to reply - sincerely appreciate it...still I don't quite follow. I've created a new material by duplicating and renaming it. I've then assigned it an image map and saved it as user texture (somewhere) on my hard drive. This doesn't seem to make any difference. I understand that the 'shade' parameter in the materials library only works for shaded, not rendered, views. Still, what HAS worked for the walls, gutter and fascia (changing their render material etc.) has NOT worked for the roof. Still struggling here!

Hey I worked it out!!! The roof was composed of three elements. I was changing the material of the inner element, unaware that the two outer 'core boundaries' would prevent me from seeing it. I simply added another element to the outer surface of the roof, called it 'roof material' and applied my render! Works a treat!! Shame it took this dummy so long to figure it out!!!
