Custom Asset Categories Only Displaying "Unknown"

I am having an issue where the custom asset manager does not display any of my category names even though the assets all have a unique category assigned. I have had no luck finding a solution so I am turning to the community for help. Has anyone had this issue and resolved it?

Hey Elliott - Unfortunately, I’m not going to be able to answer your question directly, but suggest another workflow for using Enscape with Revit. If you export your custom asset as an OBJ file, you can import it into an empty Revit family, and then nest into your fire extinguisher family. This allows proper scheduling and sufficient visualization for documentation in Revit, but also high resolution visualization at fine level of detail for exploration / rendering in Enscape. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/sketchup-revit-enscape-ftw-phil-read/

Hope this helps.

I just started having a similar issue today. Same behavior on multiple installations. Enscape 4.15.0.276 on Revit 2025 and 2026.

This only occurs in the Asset Library. The Custom Asset Editor shows all the categories properly. I had not seen this behavior prior to 4.15
