Hi Al,1) Is there an easy way to change a file so I can use it with Revit 2012?2) At some point, when you have the time, wondering if you can check out the new API to see if it fixes those problems…Continue

Initial FBX load
8 Replies
Hi Rich,I've noticed that nXt for AutoCAD doesn't need a model load, or it's split-second. I haven't been able to guage on imported FBX files, because of course, AutoCAD products aren't…Continue

GPU

Is there a best GPU (or CPU for that matter)? I assume CUDA is not part of the discussion, per se, as I think, and forgive my ignorance, the software has to be specifically configured for it? But,…Continue

Sun settings?
10 Replies
The Sun Settings has been dropped from the Menu Bar. I assumed this meant that nXt would be directed by Revit's settings, but that doesn't seem to be the case. For instance, I get the same shadows…Continue

Got it.
Geof Narlee replied to Al Hart's discussion 'Revit .Armaterials - importing into SketchUp'
I could certainly do that. If I set that up, how would I automatically load the .ArMaterials in Sketchup?
Geof Narlee replied to Al Hart's discussion 'Changing materials on imported DWG files'
OMG, if you could port ArMaterials right into the 3D PDF...!
Geof Narlee replied to Al Hart's discussion 'Changing materials on imported DWG files'
Revit Window layers problem solved. Revit automatically assigns the window "Opening" (the hole Revit puts in walls for the opening) its own Revit subcategory under the Windows Category. That "Opening" category needs to be…

Al, is there a way for me to import my .ArMaterials into Sketchup?
Geof Narlee replied to Al Hart's discussion 'Changing materials on imported DWG files'
Works GREAT.
Tips:
1) The layer names, plus a few extra ones (not sure yet why, but the same ones were created with the broken ruby, too), are produced in a Paint Bucket category called "In Model." Adjust the materials there and it works…
Geof Narlee replied to Al Hart's discussion 'How can I use the new 3D PDF Feature in IRender nXt.'
I've been trying to post at SketchUcation (saw you there today), because I found a Ruby that TIG wrote 1-1/2 years ago that might be useful, but they haven't cleared my posts yet.
Currently, my workaround in Sketchup is to make sure my…
Geof Narlee replied to Al Hart's discussion 'Changing materials on imported DWG files'
It doesn't appear to work. One of the problems, I guess, is that these guys probably have to constantly update their plugins for new versions of Sketchup (which is now 8). I'm sure you tried to find a way to convert the "color by…
Geof Narlee replied to Al Hart's discussion 'How can I use the new 3D PDF Feature in IRender nXt.'
This is great stuff, IMO.

"could set the transparency of the glass by layer."
- - - Exactly. That would solve it for me, short of a more direct solution for Revit to RPS 3D PDF (heaven). The glass actually does come in on its own layer. And I can set most of my…
Geof Narlee replied to Al Hart's discussion 'How can I use the new 3D PDF Feature in IRender nXt.'
I didn't know there was a difference?!:) So...yes on both! (what's the difference. I know RPS 3D PDF is interactive, but don't know what 3D PDF/Rendered image is...).
Geof Narlee replied to Al Hart's discussion 'How can I use the new 3D PDF Feature in IRender nXt.'
Hi Al,
I was having trouble quickly assigning "glass" material to Revit windows imported to Sketchup (via .dwg). And I found you had been chasing this down in 2008 via Ruby's "Material by Layer." Did you ever figure it out…
Geof Narlee replied to Al Hart's discussion 'How can I use the new 3D PDF Feature in IRender nXt.'
Al. This thing is great. Questions
1) Any thoughts of a plug-in for Revit?
2) The walkthroughs are great, but seem always to hit a limit upon entering a structure, whereupon you cannot advance any further (it slows down to its stop-point). Is the a…

May be of interest to you - what's new in the API:

Geof Narlee replied to Geof Narlee's discussion 'Revit 2012'
Hi Rich,
That works (thanks!) but currently affects nXt's first phase, called "Saving FBX data" (it takes 2.5 times as long in 2012). So, I'm sure that will be some adjustment as we go along.
Geof Narlee replied to Geof Narlee's discussion 'Revit 2012'
Thanks Rich (not Al - sorry!).
