I am going crazy trying to create a new material.
Here is my method (Revit 2014):
Go to the materials tab, select an existing material (stucco for example), and then I duplicate the material.
I want this "new" material to render as a blue stucco; I link it to my texture/bump map images, adjust the render color, and then save.
Problem is that the original stucco material (which was white) also CHANGES to BLUE!
I really could use some assistance...before I jump in front of the next bus that goes by my office!
Thanks,

After you duplicate the material you need to duplicate the appearance asset before changing it.
