I want to know is there a way to check whether the material is used in project or not. 
Or is there way to check for certain material whether it was used in project or not.
I have some materials with missing textures. and I want to know if that material is used in the project or not, in order to solve the problem about missing texture applied to that material.

Use purge unused. Then you will get a list of elements including a list of materials not used.

Cancel out the command if you do not intend to purge anything.

 

The materials not in the list are the ones used in the project.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.

It doesn't tell you WHERE they are used, but in the materials browser you can view by "Show In Use" and "Show Unused"
