Interested in exporting the materials to the .adsklib file type. This functionally can be done one-by-one in Revit by right clicking on the material and clicking “add-to”. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/4/2/420d8c8e8dd50f8afa91f64064f1a18c902f0625.png) I see that konrad has created a node to import the materials but I not sure how I would go about exporting these as an .adsklib file, or if it is possible. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/d/d/dd979e1d753335c64bf5de89472e0c94bf7f1a59.png) ---

Hmm… Doesn’t look promising… Hopefully I’m wrong… > [@New Material Library export to excel and import to project?](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/new-material-library-export-to-excel-and-import-to-project/11030/9): > > The Revit API does not allow access to external material libraries. You would have to resort to a clever combination between transferring project standards, copy paste elements with materials assigned, and/or renaming materials.
