Material in File to Hotlink to Twinmotion

I have some challenges with materials when I hotlink a file and Direct Link to Twinmotion.

1) In the original file the glass shows as glass. Both in Archicad and Twinmotion.

2) I then hotlink the original file into a second Archicad file, but seem to lose some material info.
The panels are all set to the same material settings.

3) When I Direct Link the second Archicad file to Twinmotion, the hotlinked file materials still shows incorrectly.

Any ideas?

Is that a curtain wall that is not generating properly? Have you tested hotlinking it into a blank file?

Check you actually do have the material in the material / surface list in your 2nd AC file. It should not matter but worth go and might fixes your problem?
