How can I send Revit model to customer without losing material Image?

Anonymous — Wed, 06 Sep 2017 08:16:10 GMT

This model I sent to my colleagues for Testing visa E-Transmittal Add-in ... but the material still missing !!

So how can I perfectly send the Revit model along with the material image to the customer ?

PS. I don't think manually "sending all the material image files and Customer do the image mapping manually" is a good solution.

Thanks in advance.

That's work on sharing the material but the image is still missing because
the image is located outside the adsklib file.

any other solution?

Try using eTransmit. It's available as an add-in to Revit in the Autodesk App Store, or the Autodesk Desktop App. https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/revit-products/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2017/ENU/Revit-AddIns/files/GUID-2317F99F-070C-4D05-A37B-5D9488B35376-htm.html

Try the e-transmittal already... doesnt work for rendering images...I think it's work only for decal image.

Any other ideas?

I understand. In that case, I would have to agree with ennujozlagam's post...if you are sharing the model, you would have to send the the material library with it. You can save the custom materials in a new library, and just send that .adsklib file, but unfortunately, the material is associated with that particular library asset.

If it is just a few images files, you can add them to the eTransmit package. Unfortunately, they would still have to be a part of the client's material library to be shown as a rendering material. Could you save your rendering images within the project as views?
