View 2 RepliesI'm working on a 3-D rendering of an interior view for a client presentation. I need to create a custom material appearance for the carpet and paint to show exactly what the room is going to look like with the clients finish selections. I know there was a way to create custome materials and assign them custom appearance jpg and/or png images in Revit Architecture 2010. Is there a way to do the same thing in 2012?

The principal panels do not list in Object Display, seem to be 'untouchables' while outter frame, stops, muntins can be assigned hardwood or softwood finishes. How to change a plain yellow object into a regular door, with or without glass?

I think that it has something to do with the installation, and am wondering how to fix it. When I am editing the model, in the properties pallete I choose the browse button next to materials and this is what comes up:
How do I set up the materials so that they are available to choose from? I have no other materials issues with walls, etc.
When creating custom materials and utilizing them within your Revit project, are the image files embedded within the RVT file and thereby increasing file size? I was needing to know before we load down the project file (.rvt) with many custom materials. Hopefully it is just a pointer to a separate material file.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI wanted to know about the effects of adding a lot of custom images to the Project Material Library and assigning these materials to objects in the project. Does this bring the entire image file, and therefore it's size, into the Revit project file. Can this create a file size and performance issue when fully utilizing many custom material images? I know that Renderings themselves within the project will add to the file but what about assignments.

I'm having difficulty placing a pattern type on my materials. When I select the pattern from the list that pops up and I click "OK," the pattern selector pops back up and won't let me exit. I think that if I go back to my original pattern, it will go away. I've tried restarting Revit and various other matierals in other projects on different types of families in both the surface and cut pattern prompts.How do I chage my patterns?

The problem is than we cant assign materials to the solids, once that we had opened on Revit.
None instance material parameter exist in order to drive the material whit a family parameter, and assignin the material by category is not enought couse we had different components in the same category. sub category assigment is also imposible cause none Subcategory parameter is shown to assign the solid to on sub category created.
assign materials to ADSK imported components?

I have succesfully changed the direction of the beam system under the floor, but cannot change the direction of the floor panel. I have tried the folllowing:
1) Going into sketch mode and changing the beam support direction.
2) Changing the pattern in the materials fsettings from horizontal to vertical.
Is there a way to get the default wall/roof/floor materials to appear transparent?

View 1 Replies View RelatedThis is the first time I experience a major problem with Revit 2012. I created a duplicate of an 8" concrete masonry wall for my student project. Then I selected the Edit option in the Structure to change the rendered material to concrete masonry. Suddenly the program freezes and crashes. A window pops up stating that Windows has detected a problem with Revit and must shut the program down. I've everything since my last save. As of now, I recreated a duplicate of the masonry wall I need and started drawing some of the walls for my project but I'm afraid to experiment with other materials. Background Information about my computer: I downloadeda free version of Revit 2012 student software to practice at home. I have Windows 7 64-bit, 6GB of Ram and Intel (R) Core i7 2.20GHz...(I checked all the software requirements before downloading the correct version of Revit 2012)
Do I have to uninstall the program and reinstall it again? Would the problem go away?
I have a Revit file with over 1,000 materials and associated appearance assets. It was created in a previous version of Revit before library support. What I want to do is create libraries from them. However, the only instructions to add them one at a time using dragging and dropping. That will take me days to do. Is there a way to simply create an asset or material library out of multiple materials from a project file at one time without having to individually select them?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe would like to make the transparency of glass-materials visible in views and section-views by using the "realistic style". During a 3d-view our glass-material looks like transparent. Isn't it possible for REVIT to display the transparency of materials in views ?
The workaround to hide "glass" by using "overriding visibility" is not possible for us because some of our families and project families are using glass-materials inside (Showcases f.e.).

I've been using Illustrator to draw certain parts of illustrations-like surgical instruments in a drawing otherwise done by hand or in Photoshop-through many versions of Illustrator. CS3, CS5 and now CS6. And I'm having trouble now making use of the old, saved instrument files because it's impossible to "join"lines in them. There may be other problems as well, but that one is the biggie right now. Is it understood that old Illustrator files will be difficult to manipulate in newer versions of the program? I would have thought that a vector file is a vector file, etc. I have older versions of AI, but there's an activation issue I have to sort out first. SHOULD I be able to work with older files in AI CS6?

I'm trying to find out some things about the 3d materials editor
The adobe site video called "3D object and property editing" was no help in answering the following.
Does it have a procedural texture generator?
If so, then does it have some procedural texture presets?
Can you modify and save procedural texture presets?
If there are no procedural textures.
Then what are the materials, vectors graphics? bitmap?
Where can you find images of oil painting canvas to use on images or a vareity of other types of surface materials?

I'm attempting to texture the trumpet/ horn section of a gramophone. the final result of the render is really poor and is no where near the desired outcome. I'm not entirely sure if this is due to my render setup, poor modelling or something else.
