Visual Styles - An Overview

© 2012 Autodesk

29

Realistic Style

NEW! RPC objects now appear textured in realistic mode.

© 2012 Autodesk

30

Ray Trace Style 

© 2012 Autodesk

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

31

Ambient Shadows

© 2012 Autodesk

32

Ambient Light   

© 2012 Autodesk

Playing with the Ambient Light settings can yield differing results. 0 -100% As you increase the value, this will affect the material colour.

33

Silhouette Settings  



© 2012 Autodesk

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.

34

Silhouettes & Shadows

35

Shadow Settings 





© 2012 Autodesk

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. 36

Background 



© 2012 Autodesk

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! 37

Hardware! 

To maximise the ability to work with some of the graphic functions within Revit, ensure your graphics card can use Hardware Acceleration.

38

Orient to View    



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

40

Orient to View 

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

41

Orient to View: Elevations 



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

42

3D Sections 

Use the section box feature to create section and plan perspectives.

© 2012 Autodesk

43

3D Sections: Understanding Poche 



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

44

Stacking Views 

 

Use a combination of percategory-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

45

Stacking Views 

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

Allows you to display elements which are obscured by other elements

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 

© 2012 Autodesk

60

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

Rooms 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

62

Rooms Don’t 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. 

63

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 

Shared Parameters 

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

70

Please Recycle!   

You do not want to start from scratch every time. Develop your own standards Reuse them Transfer project standards  Create your own template 
