CUSTOM IMAGE TEXTURES IN REVIT DOESN'T READ IN ENSCAPE

diomel2020 · Nov 15th 2020

Hi,

I am working in Revit 2019 with enscape version 2.8.

When creating "textured" materials such as stones,bricks,tiles,etc based from "REVIT DEFAULT" image-mapped materials, enscape is doing great in reading this material.

But when i try to create or duplicate materials from revit in order import ''CUSTOM TEXTURED IMAGES (jpg/png) for mapping, enscape only converts all this material in plain white or default plain color.

Am i missing something?

My pc is GTX, so i'm not sure if this is the case or what. Please do help me. Thanks.

I suspect your materials are in a custom folder and you have not mapped that folder as an additional render path. Go to your Revit/Options menu and add an additional renter path then map the path to your custom material folder.

Quick question, or two.

What is the best practise for creating a new material in Revit ? Duplicate or new material, are there any issues with paths with one or other workflow?

When you are storing your images do you use sub-folders or do you keep all the images in one folder?

Duplicating or creating a new material is fine. Just make sure that if you're duplicating the material you make it unique.

I would also recommend only using generic appearance types for the material.

Keep all your materials in one folder – not sub folders.
