How does one import a render material library in 2011?

Thanks,

no easy way...you need to cut and paste objects with the materials you want from project to project.

In 2012, you can load your own material libraries, in the materials dialog box.  Yo have your own materail catalog called "my materials" that you can save out and load into another project.

So no way to transfer render  materials from ACA 2011 to Revi2011t?

thanks,

Found it....

Create 3d solid in Acad, attach material to solid, then import dwg into Revit...

Which all changes in Revit 2012, with the addition of user defianble material libraries that can be exported/imported from project to project.
