If you do not adjust the storage location at the start of a project, then when a project file is opened by another user, that user will not be able to access the materials assigned in the project due to the default storage location being assigned locally by default. Therefore, you should pay attention to the ‘gear’ icon that can be found at the bottom left corner of the dialog in both the Material Library, and the Material Editor.
If this is the case, a storage location, where all users working on a project will have access to, should be specified. It’s advised to build such a material from scratch in the native Enscape Material Editor instead of duplicating the Revit Project Material, or simply leave the Revit Material Appearance as it is, Enscape will still interpret it correctly.īefore importing any materials, you should decide whether the project will be shared with another user for collaborative purposes. For example, a Metal material that is Type Aluminium in Revit will lose its Aluminium qualities pre-built into the material in Revit. However, it is not recommended to alter these Revit materials, as the material will then look different in Enscape. NOTE: It is possible to duplicate these materials as a ‘Generic’ material and this will result in them being listed in the Enscape Materials Editor. Enscape will generally be able to display the following Appearance parameters without having to use the Enscape Material Editor these materials will not show up in the Enscape Material Editor, so editing them inside Revit is recommended: No need to export file or go through a complicated process.Before we explore the Enscape Material Editor fully, lets take a look at working with materials in the native Revit Material Editor. You are ready to walk around your project, using the same controls as a first-person shooter video game. In Revit, go to the Enscape tab, select a 3D view and click start. The more simple a rendering tool is, the easier it is to kill this archaic workflow and let the designers control the renderings. Simplicity is the most important factor when judging a rendering plugin.ĭesigners used to outsource renderings to an outside team. 1- ENSCAPE IS SIMPLEĮnscape is not the most complete, sophisticated or beautiful rendering plug-in.
I've been using it to present models to a client and the response has been spectacular.Ĭlick here to visit Enscape website. So far, my favorite is without a doubt Enscape. I plan to write a review for each of them.
All of them are great and have their own strength. I've been trying all the major rendering plug-ins for Revit with this feature: Lumion, Enscape and Autodesk Live. Why spend 10 hours on a still rendering when you can walk around your project? While VR is getting all the attention lately, it has eclipsed an even more exciting growing trend in architecture visualization: live 1st person exploration.
