What Revit Wants
Here: https://data.sa.gov.au/data/dataset/3d-model

Its a 1.9 gb dataset with textures, delivered under Creative Commons. How long until we have access to the same thing for every city in the world?
Aaron Maller provided some useful insight about how he paths RPC on a network location in the comments:
“The .rpc library we have is 12.3 GB of stuff. Admittedly, thats not THAT much space, but i cant justify having it on the hard drives. Since our Material JPG’s are on the network as well (Additional render appearance paths) if someone is trying to render at home we have issues anyway, unless their machine has configured Offline Files, which we do with the libraries when people have to work off site. Then its local, but still pathed to the network. :)”
Note: one of the nice things about the recent updates to Archvision Dashboard is that it supports license login / logout, meaning you can logout of Dashboard in the office, then go home and login again without using an extra license. This would give you access to the cloud library of RPCs, which could be downloaded and used wherever you are.
“For those that have seen enough of the standard Revit textures, there are remedies.
Recently, the company offers under the name LG Hausys HI-MACS textures for download.
