Cannot change colour of imported Cad model

[russell.beale]

Hi All

I have linked a CAD model to my Revit project but cannot change the colour of it. I have tried overrides and every method I can think of but it stays grey,when I need it cream (or similar)  even the actual colour in the dwg file is cream but overall colour in Revit wont change, you can see some cream lines but not overall surface colour

Post the family.  

You can access the Material/Appearance Asset that it is using through the Imported Categories Tab in Object Styles. The Object probably has multiple Layers/Materials. You need to look through all of them to understand what Materials effect what.  My guess is that Layer 0 is doing the heavy lifting. 😉
