You won't have to figure out how to share custom Enscape assets because we're using Revit families. This last point is really important because creating workflow that's so complicated only you can figure it out is a recipe for a long and stressful career.īut there's a bonus: When sharing your project across other offices, teams, and disciplines, rendering in Enscape just works. That's right - somebody else can actually figure it out. The nice thing about this process is that it's fast, easy, flexible: It doesn't take long to do, you don't have to be a mad scientist to figure it out, and if things change (because they will) you're not the only person to manage it. Go meet a friend for an after work beverage. Associate the imported RFA file to the correct Detail Level and Family Type parameter.Import each Revit family (containing the OBJ file) into a native Revit family.Import each OBJ file into their own Revit family.We'll get into the technicals, don't worry! Here's the short list of ingredients to give you an overview of the process. Yet the detail and quality of Enscape communicates the appropriate emotional response when rendering in real-time. Using this method, plan, section, elevation and schedule are clear in Revit. Solution: Nesting OBJ files into Revit families. It's difficult to share custom assets across multiple teams and disciplines.Creating custom escape assets is a bit technical, limiting workflow.Enscape assets are inflexible (no material or geometry options).And you can even create custom Enscape assets, which can also link to Revit families. Like any good BIM Breakfast™, eventually the conversation took a technical turn and Steve posed an interesting question: How best let Revit families do what they're good at (displaying an appropriate level of detail for coordination and documentation), while leveraging the detail and beauty of Enscape assets and real-time rendering? Of course, you can link and Enscape assets to a Revit families ( like this). TIP: If you're ever in Manly, Australia go to Kazzi Beach and Greek and get the Eggs Benedict with salmon! Being back on the road, visiting Enscape enthusiasts for the first time in three years made breakfast extra special. I've known Steve for 20+ years and have always appreciated his rigorous intellect and quick wit. I had the good fortune of enjoying breakfast last Saturday with Steve Taskin (thanks Steve!). For the True Believers this will likely amount to heresy and get me excommunicated from the Church of Revit.


In today's BIM Sermon I'm going to suggest that SketchUp and Revit can work together for the greater good.
