Materials that I made in revit are not showing up after I render in the cloud

[Anonymous]

I am at a loss. I made materials and applied them to the walls. I have created fake walls with a .25" extrusion and applied it to that. I have deleted the files on my computer and started from scratch. I have relinked the fies with their coordinating image. Some of my materials just will not show up in the rendered image but are shown in realistic view on revit. Any help with this conundrum would be terrific.

I've heard people suggested to clear the Temp folder and try again?

Mmmmmm and how exactly does one do that?

No warnings? Maybe it isn't about the image. Maybe about  rendering settings (e.g. lighting, exposure, rendering time).

Nope didn't work either

It gave warnings saying how some rendering images were missing, BUT none of those were used in that view so it shouldn't matter. That's another reason why I created new materials again, still didn't work.

Thanks for trying to help, y'all. I'll just photoshop in the materials I need.

JPEG?...Depending on the application which created or saved the image file the material uses, Revit may not be able to load the image file for rendering.  In most cases this may occur with certain JPEG compression modes and will generate the same warning message at render.

One easy test is to open the image file and save it as .PNG format instead.  Edit the Revit material to point to the .PNG format image to see if this eliminates the warning when rendering. 

LINK? ...for Revit links, you cannot override the materials in the host project unless you physically update the linked file material.  The linked file material definitions and assignments will determine the material appearance in the host project.  

PATH?...As a best practice try to store all custom image files in one location.  Wherever these image files are located, ensure that the path is specified under Options > Rendering > Additional Render Appearance Paths.

Did you save the texture images in a folder that included in the Options > Rendering > Additional Render Appearance Paths?

Yall. Changing it into a PNG worked. I could literally cry right now. Thank you!

Bradley, the materials I used in preparing my model and the column... Are not rendered.

The column is showing on the visual display and the colors used for the roof and walls are showing as well but after rendering, only the background jpeg and the trees that are rendered.... The walls and roofs comes out grey....the columns are not seen.

I found a solution. If you have the phase filter to "Show Complete" and if you have a "Phase Filter" "Override", the material will NOT show. If you remove the override, it will show.

Typically, you have an override ON for when hatching the filled areas of NEW walls and such. But you can not have that on if you want to view the materials.
