Our second presentation:

Revit Materials, Managed

Materials in Revit are essential for Architects and Engineers and others in AEC - they're used in 3D visualisation, drawing production, environmental analysis and more. Yet, they can also be a pain to create and manage.

 

Most offices put significant effort into crafting good-looking materials. But unlike other content types, materials are locked within models and family files, meaning that work is not fully leveraged. As a BIM Manager, you may be unsure how to build and distribute a material library for your office. Architects struggle to reuse good materials from past projects without bringing clutter along with them.

 

In this session, we’ll take a whistle-stop tour of materials in Revit, highlighting some of their lesser-known features buried in the Revit interface. Then you’ll get a preview of Kinship’s upcoming update and how it can help your office better organise and make the most of your Revit materials.

 

Presenter – Matt Olsen

 

Matt is a Product Manager at Kinship, joining in 2025 after 11 years as an Associate and BIM Lead at Allies and Morrison Architects in London. Since joining he’s been working on Kinship's new materials release, bringing close knowledge of how materials in Revit are used in Architectural project delivery.

I look forward to seeing you at LRUG
