Revit.ini add default material path to the ini file?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

We currently use a deployment system to update all our users computers with the one Revit.ini file, setting all their defaults for the following;

- Project & Family Templates

- Family Libraries

- Look Up Tables

- Basic interface setup, etc...

We are hitting a bit of a block with the material libraries where more and more manufacturers are providing their own finishes and textures which is good then storing them in a custom material library. but we have to set individual machines to this library.

      My question is... Is it possible to amend the Revit.ini file that it includes this material library directory, or can the entire material library setup be configured through the Revit.ini file so that it could point to one network Autodesk Material Library?
