To install the Autodesk Material Library for InfraWorks
Not all Autodesk products use all sub-libraries. Not all Autodesk products include an install of the Autodesk Material Library by default. For those products, the Autodesk Material Library is installed by default using the product installer it can be removed using the Windows Control Panel. The Autodesk Material Library consists of several shared sub-libraries of materials and textures that are installed with some Autodesk products such as Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk AutoCAD, Autodesk Revit and 3ds Max. Without the required material libraries installed, 3D objects that were created in other Autodesk products such as Autodesk Revit or Autodesk Civil 3D may display inaccurately in your InfraWorks models. Why do I need the Autodesk Material Library? This can occasionally cause issues with the display of textures and materials for 3D objects that you import to or export from Autodesk InfraWorks. RevitWorks families are ready to work, easy to use, and suitable for virtually any project.By default, the Autodesk Material Library is not installed when you install Autodesk InfraWorks. Meanwhile, using a family in Revit can make the designing and planning more enjoyable.
A good Revit family library can substantially reduce the amount of work that needs to be done within a model. Working with Revit without good familes can be incredibly be time-consuming. Each family can have several types, including size, parameters, and material differences. What is a Revit Family?Ī family is a group of objects that helps you create a building component, such as windows, furniture, doors, and casework etc. A variety of Revit component libraries can provide simple solutions for your model. The ready-to-use Revit object library can produce the desired results in the shortest amount of time. Using Revit families for your project substantially simplifies the modeling process.
