A guide to creating materials and downloading files.
Find answers about dimensions, texture maps, hatch patterns and your library.
Output
What is in a material package?
Texture maps, available CAD hatch files and saved material settings are collected in a ZIP package. Review the export panel for the files included in your material.
What resolution can I export?
Choose from the resolutions available in the export panel. Access depends on the current plan and export options; see Plans for details.
Can I prepare Revit patterns?
Prepare model patterns at real dimensions or drafting patterns at a drawing scale. Revit PAT files have not completed in-app validation; check the file in your target Revit version.
Where can I find source and licence information?
Review the source information saved with the material. Check the licence of each source you use, including your own uploaded images.
How it works
Are texture maps measured or derived?
Available scan channels can be used as source data. When channels are derived from a photo or colour map, they are estimates rather than measured physical properties. The material keeps source information for its channels.
How do I set the dimensions?
Enter the unit width, height and joint width in the material editor. Turn on Show dimensions to inspect the scale in the preview.
Do previews use a creation credit?
Previews are free. Creating and saving a material package uses one creation credit. The remaining allowance appears beside your account.
Are product details verified automatically?
You add manufacturer details, product codes and technical values with their sources. Automatic file checks are not manufacturer or product approval.
Account and plans
Can I purchase a plan now?
Paid plans are not on sale yet. The Plans page describes the proposed prices and features.
Is AI generation available?
AI access depends on your plan and the configured generation service. The AI source panel shows availability. AI-generated demonstration images do not indicate that AI generation is included in every plan.
Can my studio share one workspace?
Shared Team workspaces are planned. See Plans for their current release status.
Does the site synchronise with my design software?
The current workflow uses file downloads and manual import. Live material synchronisation is not available.
