Sherwin-Williams Material Library Files

Textbook Updates: In 2014, Sherwin-Williams changed the method used to import paint color swatches into your Revit models. Sherwin-Williams now distibutes paint materials using an Autodesk Material Library Files (ADSKLIB file). 

The photorealistic material families described on pages 230–231 are no longer available for download. 

The instructions below replace pages 230 and 231 in the textbook.
