Can't use imported paint

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone!

I imported some paint colours from BIM but I can't use them on my project. The files are rfa files. I have tried using the material tab but unfortunately it won't get accessed. Screenshot below.

Any help please?

On the Rendering tab of the Options dialog, specify the locations of files used for render appearances.

If the desired material library does not display in the Material Browser library list, you need to load that library. To load a material library, your computer must be able to locate and access the ADSKLIB file that defines the library.

Thank you for your reply!

I've tried that means before (material tab) but it says no assets to material.

I can see the library has a failed to load icon. Hover the mouse over that folder and take note of the path it is using, and then confirm that the adsklib actually exists in that location.  Or are you saying that you have already done this?

Just did that but no vale. It's actually  only opens in a RFA file and not adsk.

So these "colors" exist in an RVT?  What's that RVT using?  If the colors are accurate in that file, then it must be referencing some asset/RGB settings in that project.   

Post the file with the "colors" here.

You need to download the Material and Textures as well. There's a bunch of them in one ZIP folder.  These are what you are missing.
