I use revit of Traditional Chinese version.
There are some bugs bother me so long:
1. Materals and views can't save
2. Walkthrough Animation cant work
3.Losing materials that named in non-english when export to Standalone
(I know that the bugs cant be solved by changing to english version, but I still want to work in my first language version.)

In addition, there is a big problem that I want to know how to fix.
Every time, I open the viewport , it doesn't match the view. (I always need to adjust "field of view" or "lens shift" )

Can octane team you fix these bugs and problems?
There are some people who use non-english version revit.
THX!

1. Materals and views can't save

When materials are not saving - do you have a linked file in the scene - or does it happen even if there is no linked file?

In addition, there is a big problem that I want to know how to fix.

The manual page at https://docs.otoy.com/#60Octane%20Camera explains how this works. Pls let me know if this still does not make sense.

I have a linked rvt file. But I'm not sure if It caused this problem.

ok~ Now I see.

But I think it still doesn't make sense........

1. Because when we save the view, we usually adjust the field of view both of horizontal and vertical. It is easy to work for us. (my colleagues and I)

2. Is it possible to add the function that matching the aspect ratio of revit view with the resolution or the aspect ratio lock tool ?

I have tried Indigo render for revit before, I really like that it can match the view with revit perfectly and easy to save the view for batch render.
But I LOVE the octane render more! (I even updated to version 3 at first time)

(I had used octane for SU before, but now I turn to use Thea render for SU.
Because octane for SU really disappointed me..... it cant use "batch render", can't making animation,can't export all the views to standalone,even sometimes can't use proxy....
So I just want octane render for revit can be more useful and easier to use, not to be the "next octane render for SU". )

I really appreciate your team bring Ocatne for us, it is good at the quality of render!
But, sometimes to let users work easier is also important. If you can improve the camera function, I think people would love Octane more than ever.

THX!

My apologies - I posted the wrong manual link. Pls try https://docs.otoy.com/manuals/products/ ... ne-camera/ instead for the Revit specific details.

There is a problem with materials not saved when you have linked Revit files in the scene. I think I have been able to resolve this issue - and the fix will be in the next release (3.1.1.41) available in a few hours.

2. Walkthrough Animation cant work

I think supporting Walkthrough Animations will not be possible for non-English versions of Revit - sorry - since the animation relies on the plugin being able to simulate button clicks with the mouse - which requires the English version in order for the plugin to identify the buttons correctly.

3.Losing materials that named in non-english when export to Standalone

Can you pls send me an ORBX exported from Revit which shows this problem?

Thanks

You can see some materials named in Chinese can't link the JPG.

I will investigate this issue later this week, or early next week. Sorry for the delay.

Hi - this file is no longer available. Would it be possible to re-post it pls?

Thanks

I did a quick test...

1) Set the startup command to "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit 2017\Revit.exe" /language CHS
2) Loaded the rac_sample_basic_project
3) Started rendering with the Octane plugin
4) Exported to ORBX
5) Loaded the ORBX into Octane Standalone

All materials were loaded into Standalone correctly. Pls see below.

My problem is that the material name in Chinese doesn't seem to be load into Standalone?

Thanks your reply
