Frequently asked questions
What is Ace?

Ace is your firm’s material expert inside Material Hub. It knows the products in Material Hub and the approvals and changes your team has made, and it works with you from shortlist to spec to QA/QC.

What is included in each plan?

Anyone can search Material Hub’s 250,000+ building products for free, no account needed. Create a free account to save products to a project and start asking Ace. Teams that want Ace working from their firm’s standards, Firm Library, and past projects can book a demo with our team to learn more.

What can I ask Ace?

Ask Ace for anything about building products and materials. Talk to it the way you’d talk to a colleague; it understands architectural shorthand and acronyms. For example:

“Find a low-VOC resilient floor for a healthcare corridor in Denver.”
“Compare these three acoustic ceiling tiles on NRC, cost, and EPDs.”
“Which products here could help with LEED materials credits?”
‍

Ace asks a quick question or two about your project, then answers with specific products, performance data, and rep contacts. If your firm has standards set up, Ace works within them and tells you when they’re shaping its answer. Every conversation is saved, so you can pick up where you left off.

Does Ace work with Revit?

Yes. When you save a product Ace recommends to your project, Material Hub’s Revit integration keeps your model in sync. Change a selection once, and your schedules, specs, keynotes, and Revit model all update with it.
