Hi guys, 

I just started using 3ds Max. I downloaded .max file and maps folder for Villa design. When I opened .max file, it looks all gray like below instead of the second photo below. I tried to import maps folder since it has all exterior lining, colors, etc but I couldn't.  How can I make it look like the second photo instead of all gray? ThanksALL GRAYALL GRAYWHAT I WANT TO SEEWHAT I WANT TO SEE

You need to open asset tracking (shift + T ) and check paths to maps. If they do not match to your current one, you need to select all wrong paths and set them from PATH menu and SET PATH option.

Thanks, @DariusIII I did what you said. Paths were not matched. I made all of them matched. File names, locations all match but it still seems all gray. What do I need to do more?  Still grayStill gray

You need to render the image before you can see it (interactive or full render), otherwise you will not see how render looks like. Also check if material override is not checked in render setup.
