Materials

1. Topics in this section

Materials define the appearance and structural properties of elements in the building model. Revit provides many materials that you can use, or you can create your own.

To search for materials to apply to model elements, or to change material properties, use the Materials dialog. You can access the Materials dialog by clicking Manage tabSettings Panel Materials.

Use the left pane of the Materials dialog to find a material. Use the right pane to change properties of the selected material. To show or hide the right pane, click Properties at the bottom of the left pane.

raineseyFri Jun 10, 2011 6:16 amI am not sure if this is unique to an install on Windows 7 (only had a friend try it on another machine but with same win7 OS as mine), but I have noticed that Revit 2012 doesnt seem to store custom colours correctly in the generic colour selection dialog. Example: alter the colour of a material during a session and add it to the "custom colour" swatches, if you then close Revit and re-open it, the red and blue values in any of the colours in the custom swatches are reversed. My guess would be this is a "typo" or "spelling error" in the code that stores the RGB values, with the R and the B getting saved to the wrong spot.
Hopefully this can be sorted for the next update... although it is just a small thing, it can get very annoying.
Thanks.
