When opening the Enscape Material Editor in Revit, there will always be materials listed by default, even with a new blank Revit project file. You can open the Enscape Material Editor at any time, whether Enscape is running or not, from within the toolbar in Revit under the Enscape tab. Applying a material to a surface via the Enscape viewport is not possible. To apply any material that can be listed in the Enscape Material Editor to a surface in a Revit project, you will need to find and apply it via the Revit Material Editor in Revit itself. This is currently the only way to bring in materials into the Material Editor without first creating the material in the native Revit Material Editor.Īll materials listed in the Enscape Material Editor will also be available in the Revit Material Editor. Also, please be aware that Enscape now also provides a Material Library with pre-built PBR materials that can be imported into the Enscape Material Editor. Although, there are some limitations in regards to Revit Project Materials that have an Appearance other than Generic. Enscape provides its own native Material Editor that can be used in conjunction with the already powerful native Revit Material Editor.
