FormIt - Material Updated

By Garry Stockton

If you have use Autodesk’s FormIt in the past, material consistency was sometimes an issue. They have now remedied this in FormIt 2022

Material Consistency

Materials that were scaled or rotated on a face in FormIt, for example through the Adjust Material Placement tool or from imported geometry, will now remain at the correct orientation when converted to Revit.

Here's a simple FormIt model with several materials applied to faces. Each face has a rotation and/or scale override, which is lost in Revit 2021, but maintained in Revit 2022.1. See below, the materials react as you would expect.

New Materials

Autodesk has also added about 70 new materials and refreshed the maps on nearly 200 others, in the Material Samples directory on Windows, and in the Pro-only Material Library on Web and iPad.
