Why are there default materials in blank projects (<none>)?

Anyone who knows the reasons why there are default materials in Revit when you create a project and using <none> under template.

 

There are still a bunch of materials, most of them just gray anyway.

 

Any good or useful reason for that?

I always wonder that myself. You can purge them to get rid of them. Some of the material ties to analytical category, phasing or view type poche color.

I cleared out all the materials under Object Styles, both under Model Objects and Analytic Model Objects.

Of course, I also expanded all categories to see that no sub-category had any materials assigned to them.

 

Still, I got those left - anyone up to some detective work?

I'm not sure what the game plan is here.  Do you want to remove all the ADSKLIB's entirely - including the AEC. You would have no access to Materials then.  It would be dead.

Usually if I want to force to delete the material, I would go to material browser and press the DEL button. It will clear out all the material and change all material to by category.

@barthbradley & @syman2000 

 

Yes, I know that I could just delete them. But I was curious why they are there.

This I discovered with the help of Snoop-addin:

so what is left are these:

Again - this is just for the sake of curiosity :grinsendes_Gesicht_mit_lächelnden_Augen:

I assume these were built in since the early days of Revit. I remember Revit used to have an Accurender render engine at one point and there was material with a path name plaster all over the material name. My guess is the Autodesk dev team thinks if the system ain't broken why temper with it.
