The material doesn`t change on the dwg file.

Hi,

When I change the material on the lamp it still looks like it is the default material. I do change the object from the "object styles" tab but it doesn't look like it affects the object. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

And is it possible to add 3 materials to the lamp? (See picture) Something like nr.1 gets a metallic grey colour, nr. 2 get bulb on material and nr. 3 get plastic black matt.

Why don't you model the Housing (DWG) in the Revit Family.  It's is very simple to do.  

Using Revolve: 

See "Material" Parameter in attached RFA.

Painted with Material Parameters

See attached RFA.

I was thinking about that but since I have a lot of lamps  in dwg file formats which need to be in rfa it is not possible/time consuming to do. And the one I posted was the easiest to draw.

But thank you for the suggestion.

Well then, do a Partial Explode and apply a Material to it.  

...and Paint the element with Material Parameters
