Say, My Documents somewhere, and load them from there. If you don't have your own library, the OOTB materials are better than nothing, but getting an office library together should be a priority.Īlso, for a sole proprietor or student, where networked/shared materials aren't an issue, I would still put them somewhere meaningful, easy to find and accessible with standard user permissions. Ideally you replace the OOTB libraries (that can't be unloaded) with empty ones, so users can't get to all the junk materials in those libraries. The location could be a standard shared material library location for the whole office, or a project specific folder if appropriate.Īlso, don't put your own materials in AEC Materials or Physical Materials, put them in your own office material library, where ALL materials are vetted and canonical. Much better to put an office ADSKLIB file on the network, and have users load it from there in the Materials UI in Revit. Poof, all your custom materials are gone.
And for more than a few machines some form of automation is important.ģ: The path in Program Files (x86) is long and non intuitive, making manual user initiated updates even less pleasent.Ĥ: If there is a change (material added or revised, etc.) the first three issues just start to compound.ĥ: ADSK can, at any time, overwrite the files in Program Files (x86), via a WebUpdate or the like. Even as an administrator automating the process is a PitA. And if it isn't, libraries get out of sync and cause all sorts of coordination issues.Ģ: Program Files (x86) is a protected folder, that users should NOT have write access to, for very valid security reasons. There are a number of issues to contend with.ġ: the ADSKLIB file has to be updated for all users. Wikihelp is way wrong here in my opinion. It is the factor that makes me sure that my list isnt enough to standart use. What can i do to access all standart materials that you use generally? For example in Autodesk materials there is no roof tab and in AEC materials there are only Wood shake and Asphalt Single. I did this and reinstalled revit with this way by the way i made my component problem solved. I didnt have any component and template libraries before this installation of revit and i learnt that i need to put *. into my trusted websites from internet options.
Named for second, i have libraries (2014,base,low,medium) and i can see contents in program files(x86)>common files> autodesk shared>materials>2014. I made a search to fix this problem and learned:Ģ- I may not have Autodesk Material Library and need to check if i have or not from control panel>programs. In my material library there are so insufficient materials on my materials list. But there is a problem here tha somehow i couldnt solve. I am working on a project and now i need to attend materials before environment arrengements and rendering step.
