material The substance of which an element is made.
In Revit Architecture, the material assigned to an element determines how the element appears in a view or
rendering. Revit Architecture includes several materials in the default project templates, or you can define
your own. You can specify the color (in a shaded view), texture (in a rendered image), surface pattern (in a
projection), and fill pattern (in a cut view).
See Materials on page 468.
material takeoff schedule A list of the subcomponents or materials of any Revit family. Material takeoff
schedules have all the functionality and characteristics of other schedule views, but they allow you to show
more detail about the assembly of a component. Any material that is applied to a component within Revit
Architecture can be scheduled.
For more information, see Material Takeoff Schedules on page 174.
Max See 3ds Max on page 1452.
mesh A grid of lines used to approximate a surface (for example, when rendering an image).
