I'm attaching a file I made in Revit 2012, with just a single wall with a decal placed on it. Please load it and render it.

After you start the rendering, you should see this dialog, telling you that we found a decal in the model:

Click OK, and you should see a dialog like this:

where you'll have to select an image from your hard drive to use for the decal. Revit doesn't give us any way to extract the image in Revit that you used for the decal, so we have to ask you to specify it for us. We remeember the decals that you have mapped, so you shouldn't need to do this very often.

Above I selected "coke_sign.jpg" for the decal.

Then, when I render it, I see this:

If that doesn't work for you, or if you have a model where this doesn't work, let me know. I may need to get a test model from you to see why the decal doesn't render.
