Material Loading when Working From VPN

Hello,

I am experiencing an issue while working from home and I’m trying to track where the issue is stemming from. I believe it is an issue with our VPN and our server but I want to cover all of our bases.

A few days back I noticed when starting a render that only some of our materials were loading correctly. The rest were either loading using the graphics identity or the render material color rather than using the texture. This was while working from home on our VPN. In the office I am not having the office when connected directly to our server via a LAN connection.

It is very frustrating as every time it does it different things seem to not load and sometimes it will work perfectly fine.

Wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar and if so, how did they fix it. Thanks!

Do you have the material path specified for local and remote (via VPN) workflow? Revit>Options>Rendering>Additional Render Paths…

Also if your materials need to load from a bandwidth constrained source (office via VPN) it may take considerable time opening Enscape.
