Your title is Revit Materials 101 but the speed and and assumption that everyone watching this video has an advance understanding of materials is not always the case. I believe what you have is good and where I need to be it's just a little above my level.
Thanks Kirk - we appreciate the feedback. Perhaps "102" would be a better title! If you haven't seen it already, this other video about .ADSKLIB material libraries is maybe a bit more introductory: ua-cam.com/video/uXQwHC8B11g/v-deo.html
@@BIMsmith I would like to spend some time with you because I believe you could get in the right direction. I am trying to put a 6" x 20" piece of ceramic on a wall. I have gone into the manufacturer's web site and downloaded the jpeg, resized in Photoshop and brought back over into Revit. I what to offset them like a wood floor but having trouble making it work. Any suggestions
Very good bro. You just helped me prove someone wrong. They gave me the files and the materials library but they said that you couldn't transfer custom materials libraries from one computer to the next. The mistake that I was doing was specifying the path to the root of the materials folder hoping Revit will search inside that folder. Example: I was pointing my file\options ender\additional rendering appearance path to C:\Users\username\Pictures\material library\ and that was not working. So after watching your video, I noticed that these paths have to have direct access to the material files and not to a parent\folder so this is what I did. I specified all the folders in my materials library separately and that fixed the issue and I can work from any computer as long as I have my materials folder. Example C:\Users\username\Pictures\material library\tiles\ | C:\Users\username\Pictures\material library\floors\ | C:\Users\username\Pictures\material library\solid colors\ etc... Also to make this transfer successful, you need to create a new custom library, add all the used materials to the library and save that library in the same folder where you save your working file. That way you have everything in one place for better storage. When opening the new file in a new computer, step one: specify all the paths to the different folders inside your materials library that you used or keep all the materials files inside one folder without any sub folders. Step 2. Close Revit. Step 3. Open Revit again and launch the Manage\Material Browser and load the material library for that project. Step 4. Open project. Again thank you for the video. You help me a lot.
