Issue Changing Baluster Color

Issue changing baluster color. Please help.

Nonetheless, changing rail color is simple. Select rail > Edit Type > Edit Rail Structure > Material

I wish changing the baluster color was this simple. There's an "Edit Baluster Placement" tab; however, this does not give me the option to actually change the baluster color unlike the "Edit Rail Structure tab".

Right click on the Baluster in the Project Browser and select Type Properties and change its Material in the Type Properties .

It wont allow me to exclusively select the baluster. I've used TAB to highlight it but no luck.

I did it exactly the way I described in my very first post; through the Project Browser.

Ok, tried it again and it worked! Thanks!

I was mistaken about what the Project Browser actually was haha! I was looking in the wrong place.

Project Browser > Families > Railings > Baluster - Round > 1" > Baluster Material
