Applying Material Through Object Styles in a Family Doesn't Carry Over to Project

[kmreyesARKCN]

I have a family which I created from a DWG import. In the family editor, I am able to go into the object styles and apply material to pieces of the furniture based on layers created in the DWG. This all looks fine, renders properly, etc. 

However, when I "Load into project and close", it doesn't carry over the material into my project. I've tried deleting out the family and re-inserting the one with materials updated and it still gave a default grey color. I've copied over the same material from the family editor into the main project, but there's nowhere for me to apply it to the family while in the project - I have to be in the family editor. I tried transferring the project standards both ways for materials and object styles, but this did not make a difference.

Is there a setting in the main project that I'm missing?

That's the Object Styles of the family. What is under the Object Styles>Imported Objects of the model? It could be family template limitation, or overrides, or missing material in the project...etc or maybe just load the family for checking rather than guessing?

I had previously checked the object styles in the project, but didn't see the family as an imported object so I stopped looking there.

Just checked it again and found the "Imports in Families" category buried in there, found my family there. This fixes it, thanks!
