Have you tried changing the material of the actual object in its properties?

I agree. I seldom use an Object Style to control a material (although you can and it depends on the 'Catergory').

 

Manage the material at the element / family  level. Changing the material of the object style changes the material of all elements of that 'Category' which is not usually a good thing.

The OS assigned material only affects families without assigned materials, it's basically just there to assign a default material for a category. If there is a material assigned inside the family, that's what will be used.

Dafpfy,

 

I don't usual change the defaults so I tried this in 13 on a default wall and did not have a problem.  Perhaps what you are trying to change is in a different category or defined differently in the family.

BTW

 

I don't know why AutoDESK had to screw around with this process.  They sure made the material library harder to use.  Those darn AutoCAD programmers again!
