R2011/12....

I've searched these forums, & not found a similar problem. 

I'm having difficulty getting the model to render true  to the colours that I have selected. 

I've created a new material paint colour (for every family & item)... I've tried painting the surfaces (of the extrusions within the families). I've set the material rendering appearance to the colour I want, then ticked the "use render appearance for shading" box.  

I've tried everything that I can think of, but am obviously missing something. 

If anyone can offer hints or advice, I'd appreciate it. 

I've attached the 3-D model view as well as what I get when rendering the same view.

Yeah, that is why I changed the render appearances. Then chose the graphics to use render appearance for shading.

Does anyone have a solution to this problem im having the same issue, colours look correct in 'realistic/shaded' view but when it renders i get completely diffrent colours, i have changed everything i know possible to the same colour too, same goes for Images such as Stonework, renders a completely different colour.

Are you sure you don't have a phase filter in the view overriding the material?

Remember, the project rules!  Once a family is loaded into a project, the materials assigned are controlled in the project.  Changing them is the familty doesn't matter unless you remove the family from the project and then reload it.
