You don't make it in Enscape. You make it in your design tool and render the results in Enscape.

Yes - Enscape works with the educational version of Revit. But not Revit LT.

Use a PNG file with alternating transparent and dark sections Not white and black. Then add transparency to the image. See attached samples. Closer? Revit file here:https://www.dropbox.com/s/ehi8abn9sm7yxgj/Test.rvt?dl=0

2070 RTX and HD. Your eyes can't tell the difference in resolution but they can tell the difference in frame rate and refresh times.

- More memory

- Faster processing

- More flexibility / VR

Apply a transparent PNG to one side of the glazing using the paint tool. The PNG file would have alternating solid / transparent stripes. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse…-glazing-revit-phil-read/

Enscape system requirements are here: https://enscape3d.com/communit…base/system-requirements/

Apple doesn't make hardware that meets the requirements for high demand real-time rendering. This has to do with the GPU. Compare performance of the best MacBook Pro ($3200 with the AMD Radeon Pro 5600M with 8GB of HBM2 memory) to the Razer Blade 15" (with the NVIDIA 2070 RTX for $1800) and you're better off with the Razer and buying $1400 in APPL stock.

Even if Enscape was available for the Mac it doesn't mean that the end user experience would be comparable or even suitable because of Apple's hardware decisions. Long term Apple is moving to integrated graphics. I bought a new MacBook Pro for Christmas and it runs great. But not great for Boot Camp, Windows, realtime rendering and Enscape. Apple is moving away from Bootcamp as well.

If designers truly wanted their customers to have a great experience while saving time and money then rather than wait for Enscape to invest considerable teams, time and money to create an uncertain Enscape for Mac, Mac users would be better off getting a Windows laptop today.

Try switching to a new active document window, which will cause Enscape to recalculate the scene.

Because you didn't open the Enscape asset and select the "Shared" option. See thread. Select "Shared" then reload Enscape asset into the Revit family then reload into your project.

There's no automated process in Enscape / Revit. For the best result, there's a number of useful tutorials on YouTube to create seamless textures from tiled materials using Photoshop or other photo editing tools. The process is not difficult or time consuming (~15minutes) once you understand the process. If you want a semi-automated process this site will get you close. https://www.imgonline.com.ua/eng/make-seamless-texture.php

Hi everyone - I've been experimenting with the process of nesting Enscape assets into Revit family components and I think there's lots of advantages. For example, nesting light sources in an Enscape asset (like this SUV) and prepping furniture / casework with books and other entourage. The visibility of nested assets can be controlled with a Family Type parameter. Step by step process and thread over here on Twitter as well as download links of sample files: https://twitter.com/PhilRead/status/1339958797658370049

Hope this helps everyone get the most out of using Enscape with Revit!!

You need to adjust the origin and rotation of the Revit family to coincide with the origin of the Enscape asset.

The origin of the model pattern in Revit and the image used to render either has 1) a different origin or 2) is a different scale. When the origin of your model pattern is the same as the origin of the image and the size of the image coincides with the model pattern the image and model pattern will align.

Hello Aaron - Enscape exports the favorited views when creating a standalone EXE file. However the favorite views don't change visibility settings as if selecting the view as the active document. The favorited simply preserves the camera location and the time of day.

Please make sure that all users have mapped the additional render path to the custom materials folder via Revit/Options. Another frequent cause of missing materials is the user is simply rendering the active document from a Phase (phases have material overrides).

Keep it simple. Just open all the doors by tweaking the door families and using a project parameter.

Are you opening the file over the network or locally?

Do you need 4k? 2k may render in 1/4 the time.

Also have you stepped back and considered that rendering 4k images in 1 to 1 1/2 minutes is amazingly fast? Like how much faster should we reasonably expect it to take to render a 4k image? 30 seconds? 10 seconds? Less?

How does Enscape render speed, quality, ease of use and price compare to other applications?

This is the process for using a model pattern in a Revit family to properly apply and modify the location of an image or video texture. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse…-revit-enscape-phil-read/
