Modern Medium Family Library

Revit Architecture has converted Ketiv's into Revit Architecture families and made them available over the
Web. Modern Medium families cannot be altered structurally within Revit Architecture. You can, however,
change the appearance of a Modern Medium family type by changing the color and texture of the material
assigned to it.
NOTE A large number of items from the Modern Medium Library can substantially increase a project's file size
and impede system performance.

Accessing the Modern Medium Library

You can view the Modern Medium Library from the Revit Architecture Content Distribution Center:
http://revit.autodesk.com/library/html/index. Click the Modern Medium Library link to navigate to the families.
Click one of the subcategories under the link to view the families graphically. To download a family, click
its preview image.
Save the family to your project folder. You will then need to load it into your project. For more information
about loading families, see

Applying Materials to Modern Medium Families

You can modify the appearance of a Modern Medium family type by changing the material linked to its
object style.
For instance, you have loaded a Modern Medium piano, and the file appears under Families\Specialty
Equipment in the Project Browser. To change the color to natural wood, you can create a new material called
Piano and select the color and texture desired. The piano's appearance will change after you apply the new
material to the object style of the piano.
To apply a different material to a modern medium family:
1 Click Settings menu
2 Under the Category heading, find the Modern Medium family type you intend to change.
3 Click in the Material column of the category or subcategory, and click
4 In the Materials dialog, select a material, and click OK.
5 Click Apply.
6 To exit the Object Styles dialog, click OK.
