Recently I was browsing the RPC test file Enscape provides and I noticed something unusual. The people in the native revit and the enscape environments don't match. Not only that but there were several that showed up in neither. Anyone know what's going on here? And what would happen if I tried to create my own RPC?

Jonathan Knoefel so currently Enscape's 3D content is limited to those 10 people? Outside of looking at them through Enscape, is there any way to control/figure out which 3D person is linked to which standard revit person?
-
Enscape ships with these 10 people. You can get more 3d scanned people through Archvision / AXYZ. There is no way to control the mapping right now for our replacements.

I've checked the AXYZ website
only 3ds max/Rhino/cinema4d/sketchup format is available
I wonder how could you transfer those 3d model into REVIT. Any suggestion for us?

Hi bearsh2012 , what you're seeing are the available file formats - 3Ds Max, Rhino, C4D, SketchUp, Obj and RPC.
Revit can import RPC content directly using the Archvision Dashboard. Please have a look at this knowledge network article on how to configure Revit for additional contant, and this one on how to import additional content.
However, you should also be able to simply place your .rpc files under C:\RPC for it to be available in your Archvision Dashboard, enabling you to import it directly to Revit.

We're using the RPC's from Archvision in our Revit projects and they work really well. I think we purchased the 3DS Max versions but the RPC is a simple drag and drop into Revit through the Archvision Dashboard.

Hi DanS
You mention your use of Archvision content via the dashboard, we are considering purchasing this mainly for people and plant variety. Do the people tend to map well in Enscape? It looks like there are hundreds of 3D people, but is that really the case in practice? Might sound like a daft question....but thought it worth checking!
Cheers,

Hi Richard,
Apologies for late reply.....christmas and all that!
Yes people map perfectly and really add a great depth to the scene so worth purchasing for sure.
Happy New Year

Thanks very much for the response and Happy New Year to you also!
I've since downloaded the free trial which has been useful, to utilise the diverse array of people, I have de-selected the 'Replace Archvision Content' in my Enscape settings. This seems to result in the content not actually appearing in 3D though (unless it is 3D+ in the dashboard)...
Does that sound right? or am I missing something?
Both people and trees look good from eye level, but when viewed from an elevated position can be seen to be 2D (see attached snapshot)
Best,
Richard

Richard Pulford It depends on the content. A lot of the Archvision content is 2D unless they're marked as 3D+. 3D means that there are multiple views for the 2D content so that it flips when you walk around it.

Thanks Jonathan for your response,
I have been referring to the blog posts and they have proved very useful, so thank you.
Yes I noticed the flipping of trees etc on 3D, which we can't really use for our current purposes.
It seems like 3.5D is the way forward to us. As a result, I have been looking at the AYXZ people as well. Could I quickly check, if I have the Enscape setting for replacing Archvision content ticked (because the trees are set up correctly etc) will I be able to see both the Enscape standard 10 people and any AYXZ people I purchase. Enscape won't replace the AXYZ people will it?
Might be a silly question, but thought it worth checking for the avoidance of doubt!
Thanks in advance.

DanS Thanks for the response,
Useful to discuss and much appreciated! I thought that might be the case with 3.D+.
I haven't yet found any trees which are 3D+ (beyond the standard ones which work really well and the odd spider plant).
Could I ask what you use for these? Do you have a comparable source to AYXZ or just utilise a combination of 3D Archvision or standard Enscape content?
Cheers,
Richard

Yes we tend to work with the trees from the Enscape content, we've got the library set up on our network and just copy out the trees that will work best with the scene, for revit they tend to work quite well and look pretty decent too. I haven't dipped into the foliage on the Archvision Dashboard really because we've not needed to.
Not for people no, we only use the AXYZ for RPC people and combine that with the standard trees etc.
Also on the above, we have Replace Archvision Content ticked as standard and the AXYZ content will show up.
Hope this helps

Hello DanS and Jonathan Knoefel
Just wanted to say your help is very much appreciated and thanks for welcoming me to the forum!
It has been great to get input from people and given us the confidence to take the plunge with AXYZ content etc.
I'll post some of the results of the work in the next couple of weeks and hopefully provoke further discussion!
Thanks again,
Richard
