This is just an imported .dwg file, you can't add a material to it in Revit as it is just lines

You may try the method in following thread.

That works for both AutoCAD and SketchUp imported 3D figures. You need to apply proper layers to it in the original program.

If the figure does not need to be shown in a very detailed way. You might get an acceptable result.

Hope that can help.
