Hi Paul

Is it possible to have an isometric view as preset command?

At the moment the plugin doesn't recognize revits iso views?

your thoughts............

At the moment, is you want to render in isometric with the plugin, you use a perspective view in Revit and enable Orthographic in the plugin, and then adjust the Fov to match.

Automating this to match when an Isometric view in Revit has been selected may be possible - however you would still need to manually set the Fov (or the Camera Scale pin might be exposed for this).

I will look into this when doing the Octane 2 version of the plugin, however if I /didn't/ do it for the initial release of the plugin it may have been due to a limitation in the Revit API - so it may or may not be possible. I vaguely recall the camera position was not available when Revit was in an Isometric view - which is a problem, but I will need to get into the code to check.

Thanks Paul
Read a bit on octane 2
Seems like great improvement
Do know when you would be releasing your plugin.

There is no schedule yet, sorry.

I have just found this thread and would like to ask if it's possible to do a facade render output that would match the revit to DWG output?

I would like to be able to do render a facade and then overlay with lines.

I know of the Infochannel/wireframe, but it seems to change the geometri to triangles :-/

'm not sure I unstand exactly what you are trying to do. Are you able to show some screenshots pls? In Octane2 there is an Ambient Occlusion mode in the Infochannel Kernel - perhaps that does what you need?

Hi Paul

Thank you for taking your time to answer my question.

I'm trying to create an illustration where there is a render background, with lines on top.

As you can see in attachment 4.jpg I'm struggling to fit line and render. In 4.jpg I have exported the from Revit as DWG. Rendered the facades in 3ds max (trying to find the right view), and then merged the two in illustrator.

I guess what you refer to is the Info Channel Kernel / wireframe? but this triangles all faces so it's unusable for me. (see 5.jpg)

I'm sure there must be an easy way of doing this, it's just me that haven't found the right method :-/

Thanks

Yes - it looks like the lines and render do not match. It looks like the camera position or perspective is not being matched. I'm sorry - but I do not have any suggestions as to how you can fix this.

Hi Jorgensen,
You can do this by creating a default 3D view in Revit which is a non-perspective view. Then set the required facade view on the navigation cube. Octane will render the same view. Then combine them in an image editor.

Make sense?
