The Bottom Line

Revit is a complete solution that allows you to generate construction documentation while also pro-viding powerful presentation tools. Using some automated routines to render shadows, depth, color, lighting, and materiality, you can create compelling graphics directly in Revit. The value of doing this is that as the model changes, so will your presentation views—you won’t have to re-model anything to maintain the nice-looking plans, sections, elevations, and perspective views you’ve set up.
Using shadows for analytical and presentation purposes Presenting your design to stake-holders is a critical part of your workflow and allows you to sell your ideas. Having tools that make this process easier without compromising your creativity is essential to being successful. Master It You’ve been asked to show the effect of your building’s shadow on its surround-ing site during the winter solstice. How would you do this with Revit. Creating elevations that convey depth 2D drawings can be hard for clients to read, which makes shadows a useful mechanism for illustrating recesses and projections. Master It You need to give your elevation view more variation in line weight to convey depth beyond the default line styles established in the Object Styles dialog. How do you do this. Creating plans and sections for a print publication Creating clean, easy-to-read plan and section views using Revit is a huge time saver. Master It Your latest design is all the rage, and you’ve been asked to publish the plans and sections in a magazine. How do you make these. Creating photo-realistic renderings of your building You know those signs that are put up at the site before and during construction—the ones with the nice rendering showing the final product. Well, you can generate those directly in Revit!. Master It You’ve been asked to produce an exterior rendering of the building. Can you do this in Revit. Can you tweak the results in Photoshop.
