    Material causing fatal erros and crashing

    I have a project with one material definition that is causing major issues. It's a material that exists in our company template, so I don't know why it's causing these problems. Anytime I try to alter the material, crash. Delete the material, crash. Change any family's material that's already using that material, crash. I even tried starting a new project, deleting all the materials out except for that one material, purging out all unused material assets, saving, and then doing Transfer Project Standards to try to overwrite the problem material in my current project. Still no joy.

    What can I do to get this material out of here? I don't need it as I have other materials that take its place. But I still have the problem of trying to change materials in families that already have this one specified.

    Well it appears that there was one family using that material that was causing the issue. When I clicked to edit that family, it would give a message like "Family Cannot Be Edited" or something like that. It was a custom family for the project, so I opened the saved version of that family on the server, changed the material settings and parameters to By Category, reloaded the family into the project, and THEN I was able to delete that one material. Pretty weird.
