Currently working with Furniture downloaded from SteelCase.
After adjusting materials and colors of the furniture, the plan view continues to display in white. (see Furniture white - planview)
However, using the same visual graphics settings, the furniture displays correctly in section view. (see Furniture white - sectionview)
All materials which assigned 'use render appearance' option in the graphics tab.
What visual override or display option am in not considering?

You will have to check the family. Often they will make use of masking regions to create a simplified version of the family in certain views. And they use visibility settings in the family to make certain things hidden/visible in certain views.
It often helps if you upload the family so we can check (or link to where the family can be found)

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
Attached are the familes.
I am currently in contact with Steelcase for a solution.
But maybe someone already has experienced this previously.
Edit the chair family.
Go into the floor plan view.
Select everything.
Filter the selection to just Detail Items and Lines.
See all that crap? None of that stuff is the chair itself. It's all Symbolic crap they put in there for no good reason. At least no good reason I can ever think of. Lots of furniture companies seem to do it and I have no idea why.
Anyway, while all the Symbolic crap is selected, edit the Visibility settings of it to only show up in a particular Detail Level that you won't be using in your project, instead of showing up in all Detail Levels.
Or just delete it all, which is what I usually do.
Then load the chair family back into your project.
Here is the official responce from Steelcase BIM department.

Thanks for using Steelcase Revit symbols and reaching out to us.
We created the furniture family by turning off the 3D display in Plan View (mainly to reduce to symbol loading duration) and putting the masking region and symbolic line to display the furniture outline, thus it only displays as white in Plan view.
If you wish to show the colour shading in Plan View, there are two ways:
1st method: Display top view from 3D view (faster and easier way)
2nd method: Turn on plan view display and delete masking region and symbolic line in each family files
Hope these helps.
