material associated with an object cannot be seen.

Hello!
I'm going out crazy... I've attached the family of a window door found on the web.

I would like to change the color of the various components (fixed, Persian, frame. . )
after placing the family in my project the select-->edit type--> there is a tab that is called "material and finishes" in which in theory I can change the materials, but while inserting a different material in one of the fields, the graphic result monitor (but also in rendering) does not change of a comma, only for the shutters, but for the rest not.

Where's the hippo?

Thank you so much!

it is necessary to open the family, to assign a material to each of the parts of the family. if you want this to be parametric, it should connect the material to a parameter.

Forgive me, but... I've been studying for a few years and I'm not very clever. in practice would you like to tell me that in the family that I attached was created the field relative to the material to be assigned to each component, but was not parameterized so that the material always remains that? (except for shutters. . . )

Can you help me solve step by step?

Since I posted it on the night of time, I tried to put some things in place.
try to use it like this, it should be good

ps. when you go about family types > materials and finishes you will have parameter=glass and value=glass
Clicking on this glass value will open the material dialog box, you will have to assign a glass material from the appearance property groups. given the material go on graphics and if active shading you will have on the subject the basic color of the material
