One of the easy ways to find content in Content Catalog is by using the Browse feature. This allows you to find content that is sorted by Collections and categories.

To access the Browse feature, click on the folder icon in the upper left-hand corner.

Here you’ll be able to view all company Collections. Click on the Collection that you want to browse.

From this screen, you are seeing all the content that is in this Collection. Content Catalog automatically groups Revit families by model category.

Content Catalog stores multiple file types here, so if it’s a different file type other than a Revit family, it will be grouped by file extensions such as 3DS, Doc, DWG, or PDF.

Now click on the category that you want.

You’ll see in the example below that the materials are grouped by material class. You can click on the one you want to view your results.

You can also click on the name of one item and view even more information. You can view material properties such as surface patterns and cut patterns, appearance, and even some physical and thermal properties.

To add this material to your project, simply click on the thumbnail image and Content Catalog will automatically load it into your active Revit project.

In addition to the browse feature, you can also find content using the standard search feature and saved searches.
