I have added a 4 Panel Sliding Door from the standard Revit family. I would now like to only change the colour of the frame in lets say my north elevation. My understand is that this would be done by overriding the frame material via Manage>Object Styles>Doors>Frame/Mullion, then applying a new material.
I have made sure that my shade colour is set to the correct RGB value, and in my north elevation I have my Visual Style set to shaded.
Why am I not seeing the new shaded colour?
Materials cannot be applied view specific. If we want to see Two different type of material on the same door family, we normally duplicate type & have another type of door with a different material. You can choose to do this & see a different material but not in just one view, it changes across all views.
'Design options' tool can help you get different materials on duplicates of same elevations . ie for eg North view duplicated twice, one showing option1 set of colors, another option 2 set of colors. But one should carefully handle the elements in 'design option' to avoid confusions.
