Copied Material Displays Differently

[jay_clancy]

Hi All,

Why is a material I'm simply copying displaying differently? (it doesn't seem to matter if it's renamed or not, it still displays differently even though it's only being copied).

Original material:

Copied Material:

How they display (copied material is scaled much larger):

The only difference I can see in the material settings is the copied material has this as '0' whereas the original material states '1' here:

Is this just some kind of file corruption? How can I resolve this?

Thanks in advance!

Are you Duplicating material and asset or Duplicating using Shared Asset?

Are the texture editor settings the same for both Relief and Cutout?

Hi, thanks for your response.

I don't have those different options?

I don't see how they can't be the same when all I'm doing is duplicating one?

What version of Revit are you using? my screen shot was from 2023. i forget when they updated that to have the 2 options. 

when you duplicate a material, in 2020 for example, it does not make a unique copy. The duplicate uses the same "Asset" in the new material. To make a unique material, the Asset has to be duplicated too.

Hi, yep I understand that. That isn't the problem I'm highlighting here.

What I'm showing is that an entirely matching material is displaying differently for no reason.

Bizarrely, if I scale the duplicate material's cut-outs to 20% of the original it looks correct - but there's no reason it should require this:

Your correct, that is bizare... would you be able to uplad the model this is happening in so we can take a look at it?
