Accurender Nxt in Revit

Posted by akinlolu olugboji on July 20, 2011 at 7:50am in IRender nXt ArielVision 3D Design Studio (Sket

For those of us in the AutoCad forum thinking of going Revit, we are a bit worried about the catchUp rate of the same renderer in Revit, since the first deployment is always in AutoCad, until sometime in the further if the program goes standalone.

 

  • Are the updates in AutoCad immediately available in Revit version.
  • How compactable or easy is it to model in/with  Revit and now import into autocad for onward rendering in AutoCad.
  • Will material assignment in Revit (using its Nxt version) be editable in AutoCad or we have to reassign materials all over again?

    That is what I finally did.

    Also I noticed that it took a while for the model to load into Nxt (about 5 mins) and render in about two mins. It took the same file and view half an hour at high settings. In Nxt the Revit materials where not render as I would have expected. Wwhat am I doing wrong?

    Revit Addins are greyed out if you are looking at a Perspective view.

    It that's the case, switch to an Ortho view, or even a plan view, then load our "Control Panel" and then switch back to the Perspective view to render it.

    Please, try that.

    I'll see what I can get from friends since I have just started my classes.

  • Rich Hart August 2, 2011 at 11:06am

    I don't have one. I usually just place a wall or two,  a decal, a light, an RPC...whatever I'm working on at the time.

    We'll have to make a sample drawing that we can distribute. It would probably have to have it's own install, since the materials for a model are strored in your user AppData folder, by model name.

    Gotten it thanks. Can I have a revit Nxt material assigned model too to play with?
