Managing Revit Materials with Kinship – Matt Olsen – February 2026

Описание: Materials in Revit are essential for Architects, Engineers and other AEC stakeholders. They're used in 3D visualisation, drawing production, environmental analysis and more. Yet, they are also a major pain to create, manage and share.

Most offices put significant effort into crafting good-looking materials. But unlike other content types, materials are locked within models and family files, making it exceedingly difficult to leverage that work across a firm and over time.

In this session, Matt will take you on a quick tour of key features of Revit materials and then demonstrate how Kinship’s latest release makes managing materials painless. Now you can easily capture materials from projects, organize them using classes, preview and load them through the Kinship add-in or our revamped web interface, and say goodbye to missing image files forever! You’ll see how Kinship helps you to build, manage and share a company-wide material library without the hassle and bottlenecks that typically plague materials within Revit.
