Hi there.

I change the materials of a family in the family editor. I then reload the family back into a project. How do I get those materials to 'update' the materials in the project?

Thanks,
Craig

Once a material is defined or loaded into a project by way of a family, then the PROJECT RULES ! Since the family is / was already loaded, you have to now change the material in the project.

Just use 'Transfer Project Standards' under the manage tab.

Thanks wmullett & barrie

Okay will have to give 'transfer project standards' a go! Didn't know that it worked between familes and projects!
