Where are the Material Library Folders in Revit 2011?
Original post over at the Revit Clinic here.
This is a important change implemented with the 2011 range.
“You may notice that under Options > Rendering, there is no line for the Render Appearance Library Location in Revit 2011 products.
Because Revit 2011 products share the material libraries with AutoCAD 2011, Inventor 2011 and 3DS Max 2011 this location should not be modified.
If you need to locate the material library folders, you can do so at the following location:
32-Bit OS: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Materials2011
64-Bit OS: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Autodesk Shared\Materials2011″
If you are using custom materials you do still need to open the options > rendering dialogue box and add the path location.
