    Default Parametric Material in Geodesic Dome

    Ok so I will try to explain this the best I can. I created a Geodesic dome following the exact instructions from a video on youtube. The result was wonderful, its fully parametric and I was quite happy. But now i have a problem, I do not want each panel to be the exact same material, i want it to alternate randomly not as a checkerboard. Now I made the panels to have parametric materials but when I change them in the Project, they all change. it is a nested family within a nested family and I really need help, I included the youtube video and a picture of what it looks like, its a bit too large to attach on here.

    The material has to be an Instance Parameter and you'll have to change each panel individually (or find a clever solution... there are some out there, many of them scripted, though).
