Assigned materials does not show up in object downloaded of BIM objects

Hello, I'm relatively new when it comes to 3d rendering in AutoCAD, I downloaded a cabinet object for use in my project which came from this link: https://www.bimobject.com/en-us/aj/product/3-drawers-unit-flexus-375x720x410mm

As I downloaded the .dwg and imported it for insertion to my project. Then I started to apply the materials I wanted into each face and nothing happens, it is still grey in realistic view. I tried to purge the materials I used to it doesn't because apparently the material is present in the project. How do I get the materials to show?

It's drawn in some kind of block format that requires to be exploded.

After exploding it now all the objects are PolyMesh which allows me to drop materials onto

Thank you! Apparently it takes 2 explode commands to finally apply the texture, did not easily notice it though.
