RPC objects now appear textured in realistic mode. 2012 Autodesk Ray Trace Style 31 ! NEW! Photorealisting rendering mode ! Interactive - you can move around in the model while it renders ! Starts with a low resolution rendering that gradually improves ! NEW! Lighting & photographic exposure settings ! Available for realistic style, too 2012 Autodesk Ambient Shadows 32 2012 Autodesk Ambient Light 33 ! Playing with the Ambient Light settings can yield differing results. ! 0 -100% ! As you increase the value, this will affect the material colour. 2012 Autodesk Silhouette Settings 34 ! Elevations and 3D views can be given graphic emphasis automatically. ! The Graphics Display tools allow the user to specify line styles to be used as overrides on the profiled edges seen in elevation and 3D views. ! Linework can be used to further refine the profiles. 2012 Autodesk Silhouettes & Shadows 35 2012 Autodesk Shadow Settings 36 ! The Graphic Display Options allow you to control the shadow settings.You can control: ! Sun Intensity ! Ambient Light ! The shadow Intensity ! From experience, playing down the depth of the shadows helps to pop the view. ! Try Sun Intensity set to 60 and Cast Shadows to around 20 to 30. 2012 Autodesk Background 37 ! You can set the background to: ! Gradient ! Sky (like in render mode) NEW! ! Image (like in render mode) NEW! ! These backgrounds are available in: ! Isometric ! Perspective ! Elevation NEW! ! Section NEW! 2012 Autodesk Hardware! ! To maximise the ability to work with some of the graphic functions within Revit, ensure your graphics card can use Hardware Acceleration. 38 2012 Autodesk Orient to View 40 ! Create a section or a wall section ! Create a new 3d view ! Then from the view cube select Orient to View ! Pick your section and the 3d view will be oriented to the section. ! Free rotate as required to generate a 3d section. 2012 Autodesk Orient to View 41 ! Use the Orient to view tool to create ! Floor slices for stacking diagrams ! 3D details ! 3D sections ! Explosion isometrics ! Lock the 3D view ! Use Annotation! 2012 Autodesk Orient to View: Elevations 42 ! One particular challenge is that glass material displays as a solid color in elevation. ! If you require glass to be transparent, use a combination of a 3D isometric view and the view cube to orient to an elevation of the model. 2012 Autodesk 3D Sections 43 ! Use the section box feature to create section and plan perspectives. 2012 Autodesk 3D Sections: Understanding Poche 44 ! The Poche material is the material colour you see when a section box is defined in a 3D view. ! It will only display when the level of detail is set to coarse. 2012 Autodesk Stacking Views 45 ! Use a combination of per- category-overrides and filters to generate different versions of the same isometric view ! Stack them on top of each other on a sheet ! Perhaps add some connecting detail lines on the sheet 2012 Autodesk Stacking Views 46 ! Stacking works well with elevations or sections (foreground / background), too. ! Foreground ! Masking region set to custom transparency ! Background ! Mixture of different visual styles possible ! Some issues in Revit 2013 with some visual styles & graphics settings when printing 2012 Autodesk Masking Regions 47 2012 Autodesk Show Hidden Lines 48 ! Allows you to display elements which are obscured by other elements 2012 Autodesk Line-based Generic Model 50 2012 Autodesk Line-based Generic Model 51 2012 Autodesk 2D Entourage 52 http://www.neubauladen.com/ 2012 Autodesk Planting 53 Coarse Medium Fine 2012 Autodesk Planting 54 Coarse Medium Fine 2012 Autodesk Site 55 2012 Autodesk Annotation 56 http://revitcomponents.com/ 2012 Autodesk Colour 57 2012 Autodesk Typography! 58 2012 Autodesk View Templates ! View Templates can include all view specific information on look and style ! NEW! Color Scheme ! Great productivity boost! ! Create a template for each type of view ! Assign template to all views of given type 60 2012 Autodesk View Templates ! NEW! If a view template is assigned to a view... ! ...the view will automatically update when changes are made to the view template. ! ...view properties controlled by the view template are locked / disabled. ! Rule of thumb: ! Use a view template for every view type that occurs at least twice in your model. ! View Templates & Visual Styles: ! A lot of the visual styles functionality is quite CPU-heavy ! Use two view templates for these kinds of views: ! One for working ! One for printing 61 2012 Autodesk Rooms 62 ! Information that should already be available in your model. ! Adding some colour, via Colour Fill Legends and Room Tags, to communicate the spaces use. ! Making the plan punch by adding a coarse fill to the walls, and turning on shadows (but keeping them light & the sun bright). 2012 Autodesk Rooms 63 ! Dont forget you can use colour legends in sections views as well as plans. ! The important factor is that the room volume extends from the floor finish all the way to the underside of the floor above. 2012 Autodesk Filters ! Control the appearance of elements based on their properties ! Much smarter than override by element! ! Filters stack! ! You can apply more than one filter to the same element ! Move more important/specific filters settings to the top of the filter list 64 2012 Autodesk Filters 65 2012 Autodesk Filters: Example 66 2012 Autodesk Filters: Selection Sets 67 NEW! Selection sets can be saved and used as filters 2012 Autodesk Filter Hacking 68 2012 Autodesk Filter Hacking 69 2012 Autodesk Shared Parameters 70 ! Make your model even smarter ! Add shared parameters to element categories where applicable ! Example: Categorize rooms according to different aspects ! Use shared parameters for filtering 2012 Autodesk Please Recycle! 71 ! You do not want to start from scratch every time. ! Develop your own standards ! Reuse them ! Transfer project standards ! Create your own template 2012 Autodesk Revit 2013: Lots of New Graphics Features ! Materials ! Transparency per Category / Element ! Selection Sets for Use with Filters ! RPC Objects Rendered in Realistic Visual Style ! Ray Trace Visual Style ! Lighting & Photographic Exposure for Realistic & Ray Trace Visual Styles ! Gradient, Sky & Image Backgrounds for Isometric, Perspective, Section & Elevation !
