It all works fine and every time i open the project, they are still there, however, my problem is that when i open a new drawing, those same materials are not there. It's quite a big library, paint colours, textures etc, and i want it to be universal over all projects, however, they only appear in the library where i created them in the 1 job.<BR /> <BR /> There must be a way i can make them universally available for all my projects without having to re make them right?<BR /> <BR /> Thanks</T></DIV> Fri, 26 May 2023 13:21:26 GMT Anonymous 2023-05-26T13:21:26Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Project-data-BIM/Materials-Library/m-p/252913#M13019 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>Hi all, I'm having a bit of trouble with my materials library that i hop you can assists me with.<BR /> <BR /> I created new materials within a project, by going into the 'Element attributes' and copying an existing material and changing its attributes along with its texture image.

Do this in your template and they will be available for future projects too.
