Never Lose a Revit Family Material Again: 2 Easy Tips

In this Office Hour Session I spend some time riffing on Revit material parameters and management between a Revit family and project. I also dive a little bit into materials within nested families, family material parameters, and more.

Great vid Jeff, and you can go from type parameter into instance and vice versa with nested families - sometimes is quite useful.
Bonus tip - in your example with a bathtub and a faucet, most likely I would make it Shared so it could be loaded into other bathtubs and update multiple families in one go rather than loading individually. That is where being instance material parameter comes into play , to be managed via main family or project. Cheers
