Hi, i have explored the forums, F1 and even our subscription technical team until blue in the face, Hopefully someone on here can put me out of my misery.

I'm in the process of rendering a site layout of mine, and the problem im having is roof tiles are not rendering to my assined material.

i have created my own library of houses where i then import them as a revit link into my site layout. the original revit link has the correct materials assigned to the rendering, but when i render in the site layout, it shows up as the standard paint fill.

Both original files (ie revit link and site layout) have the same properties regarding roof tile and render material. the only way i have managed to achieve what i want is to physically delete the revit link and re-insert it. But obviously all orientation/rotation properties are lost for all my links on my site layout. And on a 300 house scheme, thats a big ball ache.

Any help more than appreciated.

 thanks

Hi, and in your "Site Layout" did you check in "Settings>Materials" if the "Roof Tiles" material has the "Image-JPG, PNG" like in your "Revit Link" file??

Thanks for your reply

yes both files are the same

ie (Thermal_Moisture.Roof.Tiles.Spanish.Red.Colour.jpg)

when i bring my revit link into a new project it works.

its almost like theres a visibilty graphic override turned off, but i have searched and searched and searched
