Sharing materials library - Texture Path Issues

I have folders on my PC with textures for each material. I created the materials in Revit and added them to a material library, but when I try to use it on another PC, all the texture files are missing because the paths of the files are referencing where the materials were created.

 

The tutorials that I found tell me to set up the path in the Revit Options > Rendering, but as I said, I have each material in a different folder, so setting up the path for each one is not a viable option.

 

I think it should be possible to create a materials library with the texture paths related to the adesklib file, instead of trying to find the images on the C:\Users...

 

The textures should search the path from where the adesklib file is located, so the file references will not be broken.

If you export your project with eTransmit, the transmittal gathers all texture files and modifies the paths, so you won't miss any bitmaps if you open the project on a different machine.

If you want to access you materials from different pc's you have to create a share and put all bitmaps in that share.

 

BTW: you can create several paths for the rendering materials.
