We have since changed the material and the complex profile was updated so that all beams have the same material. The beams look fine in this pln.<BR /> We have the hotlinked this pln into another pln, and some of the beams (not all of them) have reverted back to the previous material.<BR /> <BR /> Any ideas why? They look fine in the original pln!<BR /> <BR /> Thanks,<BR /> Emily</T></DIV> Fri, 26 May 2023 09:10:31 GMT Anonymous 2023-05-26T09:10:31Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Complex-Profiles-and-Hotlinking/m-p/124466#M5760 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>Hi,<BR /> <BR /> In our project we have used the complex profile manager to create a beam, (which is repeated throughout the pln) and it has a set material.
