different methods to apply a material to an object

[Strumble]

Hello everyone, I have to change a material to an object (the glass of a curtain wall), going on object styles, category curtain wall and cloth, change the material from them, but nothing happens! As the file I'm working on is shared by many, I don't know how the material was applied, so I wondered how many methods to change material in revit are there? Thank you, you are helping me a lot!:smile:

you can also change it in the panel family; it would be a question of whether it is a system panel or not

Thank you. some were system less. But one thing I can't understand is this: If they select a wall, for example, to which the material was applied through the paint command, how do I know what material it is?

you can't...it's a tool that is actually recommended not to use if not in critical cases. use it as the last beach
