I am trying to change my window glass color and frame color in elevation in shade mode, but it still shows as like in hidden line mode. can you have a look at it?

 

second question, revit preset material doesn't have the same default material settings. are these two interchangeable. the pic below is for concrete material, where can I pull out weather channel from default material. thanks

 

third, when I am using enscape for vray, the rendering frame is different from revit setup camera view, is it normal?

Are we talking Shaded Visual Style or Rendering?

the first question is about the window in elevation shade mode, 

the following two is about rendering in terms of material editing, and plugin for rendering

because you have a Masking Region covering the Window Geometry in Elevation. Is this by design?  

 

...and none of the Window Geometry is Visible -- ever!

...after removing Masking Regions and changing Visibility Settings, this is an Elevation in Shaded Visual Style.

I see, thank you. I downloaded this from manufacture website, and have been working on visibility settings but still no show. I guess it is because the mask region, you mentioned.

Not just the Masking Region. The Visibility Settings as well.  Where did you get this Family anyways?

I think it is from revit city, or the manufacture online

Not all Assets have Weathering and you cannot just pull it from one Asset and apply to another. You need to search through the Asset Browser for other Material Assets that use Weathering.  That answer you question?
