There are two ways to control the baluster materials: by type or globally.

By type: In the Project Browser > Families > Railings, edit your baluster type. There should be a category for "Baluster Material". All set.

Globally: You can control the all balusters in the project with "Baluster Material" set to <By Category> through the Manage tab > Object Styles > Model Objects tab, Railings > Balusters. This is a global setting for the whole project that will affect every baluster (that is set to by category).

Hope that helps!
