Bradley has created custom Revit Material Catalogs for all materials specific for Bradley products.
Bradley Revit Material Catalogs can be downloaded for
A link to Bradley Revit Materials is found on the Bradley Bradley BIM-Revit Library Page in the right margin.
All materials use a naming convention that is consistent with materials already supplied in Revit.
Bradley Revit Material Catalogs are unique as material definitions are attached to individual "Chips" in a Revit Project file (*.rvt) file (shown above).
A Revit user can copy a material chip(s) from the Material Project File and paste it into their Revit Project File. When the chip is pasted into their project; it carries the material definition into the project. Just delete the chip and the material definition remains in the project.
- find and select the Bradley product family in the project,
- select the material parameter in the Property Browser and
- select the added Bradley Material in the project Material Browser dialogue box.
This copy-paste process avoids using the 'Transfer Project Standards' dialogue box; that would transfer ALL the materials into the client Revit project. This keeps the project file smaller; while keeping the Project Material Library clean from unwanted \ unused materials.
When you download our Material Catalogs, you will receive them as separate .zip files.
Inside the downloaded .zip files is a Revit Material Project file (*.rvt ) and the corresponding material .jpg image files; that are Bradley materials. The material .jpg files are required for the Revit rendering process.
- Copy all the .jpg image files into a Bradley folder in your firm's Manufacturer Material Library folder.
- Add this new folder to the 'folder search path' that Revit Rendering searches to find material image files.
- In the Revit Options Dialogue box, select Rendering tab in the left margin.
- Select the 'plus + symbol' to add the new directory.
- The icon with dots " ... "appears in the right.
- Select the dots to browse to and select the Bradley material folder that was added.
- Revit will now automatically search this folder list for materials, when rendering a view.

(March 2014) I'm pleased to publish Bentley's formal announcement of Autodesk Revit Family support for their new AECOsim Building Designer V8i (SELECTseries 5) BIM software.
Our thanks to Bentley for using the Bradley Revit Family Library (1,000 families) as part of their larger data set --to test Revit family import stability \ integrity in the new AECOsim Building Designer V8i (SELECTseries 5) software.
Bentley's Technical Manager (a former Revit Manager) for this project, focused on
-
maintaining the Revit family geometry's dimensional integrity,
-
retaining the Revit family parametric & visibility control behavior,
-
retaining the embedded parameter data type values,
-
retaining the Revit family types (embedded or family catalogs)
This new feature immediately provides Bentley users access to 10's of thousands of Building Product Manufacturers' (BPM) Revit families in their native RFA file format.
Bentley will supports Revit family file formats for Revit 2009 through Revit 2014. When Autodesk Revit 2015 is released; Bentley will begin testing the Revit 2015 new features of the family file format (RFA).
It demonstrates Bentley's commitment to both interoperability between different BIM software tools --and the value of providing their users with pre-built BPM BIM content for their Bentley design projects.

Summer 2014 launched the Bradley BIM 2.0 - Revit Library Update. Major portions of the Bradley Revit Library (1,000 Revit Families) were optimized and revised.
Rachel Hughes, Revit\BIM Support Technician (paid summer internship) has been piloting our Bradley BIM 2.0 Revit Library Updates. She cataloged each family's edits in our Standards Spreadsheet and authored new editing processes for our Revit Handbook.
More than 350 Bradley Revit families had their their visibility settings optimized.
--- Revit Project Performance | Revit Family File Size vs Family Visibility Settings ---
Currently, over 750 Bradley Revit models were given new parameters, old parameters were updated or deleted -and all 750 models were Revit project-tested.
This summarizes the Bradley BIM 2.0 updates; that we'll begin uploading to the Bradley Revit Library during September 2014.
New embedded Bradley BIM Shared Parameters are designed to assist BIM \ VDC and FM Managers with:
- Revit Model Data Collection & Management,
- Scheduling & Tagging,
- Design & Specification and
- Operations & Maintenance processes.

The Bradley BIM Resource Portal (www.bradleybim.com) is now integrated into the Bradley Corporation product website.
BradleyBIM launched in February 2011. The external blog began providing Revit-BIM support for the 1,000 Bradley product families in the Bradley Revit Library.
The BIM Portal serves over 60,000+ global visitors annually; providing Revit technical support, education, training, standards, news and trends for Revit & BIM processes.
Bradley BIM visitors download more than 6 million Bradley Product Revit models annually.
"The visitor traffic required us to scale up the BradleyBIM.com website capabilities. It needed to ntegrate with all of the web and product resources of the Bradley Corporation website." said Daniel Hughes, Bradley Corporate BIM Strategist.
