Hey there. 🙂 If you know that the material is of type PBRMaterial then you can cast it to that like below for example. It’s not a bug thou, just one of the joys of using TypeScript. 😀

```auto
(this.ringText.material as PBRMaterial).albedoTexture = textureGround;

```

Hmm if you can narrow it down to a more specific question/issue and ideally make a small TypeScript [playground](https://playground.babylonjs.com/#GTUAB5) for it then I’m happy to try to help, but otherwise I’m not sure how to. 🙂

we would need your code in a proper playground running code: [Playground | Babylon.js Documentation](https://doc.babylonjs.com/toolsAndResources/tools/playground)
