Hi @Anonymous,

I think your question is Revit related, not cloud rendering, so i move this topic to Revit forum for there may have more experts would be helpful.

I guess the answer is NO Revit does not have Render ID /Material ID.

To be honest I don't know what either of those terms are/mean. So no Revit does not use whatever this is. Perhaps it has an equal but since I am not familiar with what Render ID and Material ID are I can really say.

Render ID... Is a render(elements) that would go out with the render and IDs are specific addresses for each material, is a very useful tool for Post-production image in Photoshop, This is seen in Vray or other render engines and is used a lot in Autodesk software.

@Anonymous every element in Revit has a unique ID number. Is this what you're looking for?

... the question is if REVIT materials have ID, not if Dynamo or 3Ds max

But those element IDs are not FROM Dynamo. Dynamo is simply reporting the IDs of the materials within a particular Revit project. Again, every item in Revit has its own unique ID #. Unless I've misunderstood the OP's definition of "ID"??

Hi @Anonymous

You can try Show ID* is a small but helpful tool for Autodesk® Revit® users to extract element IDs from Revit file and store in the element's project parameter, which is shown in the Properties Panel.

Material ID information is determined in software link 3dsMax
