- In this Office Hour Session I spend some time riffing on Revit material parameters and management between a Revit family and project. I also dive a little bit into materials within nested families, family material parameters, and more.

Thanks for watching " Never Lose a Revit Family Material Again: 2 Easy Tips " !!
Great vid Jeff, and you can go from type parameter into instance and vice versa with nested families - sometimes is quite useful.
Bonus tip - in your example with a bathtub and a faucet, most likely I would make it Shared so it could be loaded into other bathtubs and update multiple families in one go rather than loading individually. That is where being instance material parameter comes into play , to be managed via main family or project. Cheers
Cheers! Great points!
I like to don’t use any material at all in families and use object style subcategories. Then all materials are only managed in the project by object styles. It needs some naming convention for object style names but you can reuse object styles on different families.
Thank you.
Cheers!
Hello, could you teach me how to configure the scroll button of mouse to move on iPad when use Revit?
It is the only thing that I have not been able to do. In your video where on your iPad you use your computer you can rotate the model of revit using the scroll of the mouse. I have looked for a way to do it and I have not been able to do it, when I press the scroll what it does is selecting instead of move, please help me, it's something I haven't been able to solve in a long time and I'm frustrated.
