Materials Dialog Box Doesn't work

[Anonymous]

When i try to change a material or access the Material Dialog Box, nothing happens. Have tried to repair the .msi files. All .adsklib files are also present. Tried to add paths in File>Options>Rendering. Have also tried to reinstall Revit 2018. Can anyone help? 

From what i can gather, everything is present, it just doesn't want to work. 

Thanks in advance! Cheers!

I am having the same issue.

I have tried the above solutions and reinstalled the software. I have run out of ideas. Has anyone got any suggestions?

I have the same problems ever since installed Revit 2018. What is your Windows version?

I am on windows 10.

Solved It!

The issue for me was with the graphics card. Disabling the graphics card in device manager and turning off hardware acceleration fixed the issue.

I too had this same problem, which only occurred after updating my Nvidia Driver last week. As suggested by Stewart Jex, I turned off Hardware Acceleration from within the Revit Options dialog, then re-started Revit. The Materials Dialog re-appeared. I went back into the Revit Options, and turned Hardware Acceleration back on, followed by another Revit re-start, & everything seems to be working correctly. Material Dialog works fine & hardware acceleration is on.

Thank you for posting this.  This has just happened to me.  It was great to find this post.

... did you try disabling your graphic card ?

.... or disabling your acceleration card
