Is it possible to add new textures/materials to accurender. I added a colorbond bitmap into the accurender file but it doesn't show in Revit. Is there a tutorial? Puzzle

Place jpeg/bmp in Revit rendering/materials folder. (application data/autodesk/revit_?/rendering/accurenderredist/support/material) (? is version of revit you are using) Go into revit/settings/materials. Select any material and duplicate. Give it new name In Accurender-material box select arrow Right click any existing material and select New/Default Grey Go to maps tab, and Add Go to above location and select your material OK twice and save as a User material

Just to simplify. Adding a bitmap to the accurender library location does nothing. You need to create a material in accurender to then use this bitmap. For all new materials we have a separate mlib file where all custom materials are kept. This way we can ensure no materials are lost when a new release is installed. HTH.

I need similar help, using Revit Architecture 2008 I have previosly been able to apply AccuRender images to my materials saving the results to the 'USER' folder.  when I try to do it now I get an 'Access is Denied' error message.  How do I get round this?

Maybe because you don't have rights to save in that folder, try using the ADMIN rights.....

Thanks for the swift response.  windows 'User Account Control' was switched on.  I turned it off and hey presto everything works fine.  God bless Bill Gates and all who sail in him.
