Hi Paul,

I have been trying to use displacement in Revit and the normals seem to be inverted on my site geometry - grass below the surface. It's geometry created in Revit so I'm not sure how to change it. Any ideas?

Cheers,

Seeker - you can use the Infochannel Kernel to check your normals. If the normals were inverted, all the reflections would be wrong - so it's unlikely that is the case. If in doubt - can you pls send me the rvt file with the grass geometry and I will check it out.
