Hi Paul

It looks like the white mirror and black mirror from live DB are the same

Any suggestions how I can make the white mirror into a black mirror

Sorry about the silly question

I couldn't find those materials. Can you provide the category pls? And in what context are you using them? Not sure what is a "Black mirror" is.

I think there was a TV show called black mirror but I am sure it is unrelated.

Was that performing a "Load from Default"? If so, I fixed that today - you can re-download the current version for the fix.

Black and white mirror differ in their diffuse color, but because the specular pin is 1 in both, you never get to see the diffuse color, so I think they probably render the same.

My Revit knowledge is a fraction of others in this forum - so I would follow the others' advice in the Studio Light thread.
