Revit 2021 material library missing

[joshlim0918]

Good day ! I would like to ask how to install or load the missing materials on Revit 2021? It says that one or more texture files cannot be found and there is also an orange exclamation mark beside the materials.

That little triangular orange symbol just means that the Material is using a Legacy Appearance Asset as opposed to the newer PBR Appearance Asset.  All's good.  

...and to see what textures are missing, go to the Appearance Tab of the specific Material. You'll probably see this:

Should I just use an older version of Revit or is there a solution to this?

What's stopping you, @joshlim0918?  Nothing should be preventing you from using Legacy Materials.  What's going on at your end?

I think you are just a bit confused by the UI. We were all confused when Revit introduced those ominous-looking, triangular-shaped markers on the Material swatches.

How do I find the missing texture files?
