If you were to do a full rendering, you would want to make sure this material is setup to look like real stone, the way you want it to appear. “Appearance” are the more graphic intensive actual material maps that you would see in a “Realistic” or “Raytrace” view.

Under shading I can also change the transparency of a material such as glazing. And when “Shaded” or “Consistent Colors” are selected as the graphic display, they will show up in a tan-ish hue. In elevation and 3D views, they will appear with a limestone surface pattern. When areas of stone are cut in section in this project, they will have a dense sand appearance. You have a Shading Color, Surface Pattern and Cut Pattern. “Graphics” are what you see normally in any view of your model and are what you are going to want to alter and adjust. When you create a new 3D or camera view in your Revit model, chances are that it will look something like this: The following are some easy steps to create graphically enhanced three-dimensional views within Revit. However, sometimes you just want the ability to quickly show an image to a client that will convey a design in an aesthetically pleasing manner but takes little time to produce. Autodesk has also recently introduced Showcase which offers the ability to quickly render different options and create presentations. Revit itself has been upgraded massively over the years in terms of its built-in rendering engine, so it is now possible to create presentation quality renderings. The issue is that Revit often seems to make 3D inherently cumbersome or visually unattractive.īy default, Revit lacks the napkin-sketch appeal of Sketch Up and the glossy polish of a 3DS Max rendering. It allows you to visualize the model outside of a flat 2D view such as a plan or elevation.

Three-dimensional views should be referred to often while working in Revit. Part of this process involves accurate modeling of information the other part involves actively “thinking” in 3D. One of the major benefits of Revit is that it is inherently a three-dimensional approach to drafting which means a user should be able to quickly and efficiently produce three-dimensional drawings for a wide range of purposes including: Helping a client visual a space or building | Coordinating design with consultants | Identifying potential construction or detailing issues early on
