    CertainTeed Ceilings Read Me File on Materials

    CertainTeed Ceiling has created Autodesk Revit models of their ceiling assemblies
    assemblies for use within the
    Revit 2012 and higher platform.
    platform.

    Please use the following link to download all rendering material images.

    http://files.smartbim.com.s3.amazonaws.com/Materials/CertainTeed_Ceiling_Material_Images.zip

    All of the CertainTeed Ceiling assemblies use material definitions that employ rendering images provided

    in .jpg, formatted by CertainTeed Ceiling. Note that in order for these ceiling assemblies to render

    properly, you must first relink these images to the materials in a Revit project. This is an easy process

    following the steps below.

    1. First, download the “CertainTeed_Ceiling_Materials_Images” folder from SmartBIM, LLC to a

    location on your local hard drive or a network hard drive. (There are many benefits to copying this

    folder to a network location if available. For example, a central location can be shared by many

    people. A network path can be setup at deployment so all users have access to the maps.)

    2. Open a current Revit project (.rvt) or create a new Revit project. Go to the Application menu.

    3. Choose “Options”.

    4. Select the “Rendering” tab.

    5. Under “Additional Render Appearance Paths”, select the “+(plus)” symbol.

    6. In the row highlighted, click inside the rectangle and a small “browse” button becomes visible on

    right side of highlighted rectangle.

    7. Navigate to the location the “CertainTeed_Ceiling_Materials_Images” folder was copied to.

    8. Choose “Open”.

    9. Select “OK” to save the path and close the “Options” dialogue box.

    10. Repeat steps 5-9 for each folder containing materials.

    11. Now all of the Revit CertainTeed Ceiling Materials are available for use. You can load any of the

    CertainTeed Ceiling assemblies into your project and the CertainTeed Ceiling materials you select

    for that product will render properly.
