Store Material Asset Images In Project File or Create Asset Image Manager

Store Material Asset Images In Project File or Create Asset Image Manager

Because a model can be presented to a client off a network, or where network connectivity is not available, it would be great if there was an option to store images used in material assets in the project file, such as an extensible storage object. Families already allow images to be embedded for the Type Image, and thus avoid the issue of having to repath images. With storing the images in the project, there would also have to be a means to purge out the images not used.

 

Specifically, it would be great if there was a manager for images used by a project's material assets such that they could be easily embedded and reassociated to the material, or be set to not embed and instead use an image with a network/local path.

In theory, this is really appealing.  We jump through some file management hoops to solve the problem you referenced when taking models off-line to a client.

 

However, our template has dozens of images (dare I say hundreds?) defining materials that may not be used in an early model but that we would not want purged.  If the image lives in the model for materials I want to use in the future, my model size would be inflated by all those unused images.

 

If Autodesk could solve this problem, great.  But if not, I would rather jump through the hoops.
