When selecting a material from the dropdown list the material isn’t downloaded correctly.
I had just edited the appearance for that material, pointed it to a new bitmap, then added the appearance & material to the library. Then purged it all from the document.
Restarting Inventor results in the material being downloaded from the library correctly.

Hi Scott,
Whenever a material or appearance deifnition already exists in a part file, that will always take precedence over what is in the library. That's why you don't see the updated appearance when trying to apply it from the library as it already exists.
I'll follow up with you off-line to determine how this got in to this state.
Thanks,
Chris
