Free
Material Eyedropper brings a fast, visual workflow to material management in Autodesk® Revit®. Instead of digging through element properties and material libraries, simply click any face in your model to instantly see what material is applied — including its name, color (RGB + hex), transparency, and whether it's painted or inherited.
Features:
- Instant identification — click any face to display material name, color, transparency, and host element
- Edit properties — modify name, color, transparency, shininess, and smoothness directly from the panel
- Batch replace — swap one material for another across the entire model in a single operation
- Paint mode — continuously paint multiple faces with the identified material without re-picking
- Remove paint — revert painted faces back to their base element material
- Select all instances — highlight every element using the identified material in the active view
- Quantities & reporting — view material usage broken down by element type and phase, with clipboard export
Works with Revit 2024, 2025, 2026, and 2027.
Note: This app uses a custom installer (and not the standard Design and Make Marketplace installer).
