Things to know about RPC Content and Revit 2013

April 26, 2012 by 6 Comments

Revit 2013, image courtesy Autodesk, Inc.

While your overall day-to-day workflow won’t change with Revit 2013, you will find you are able to view RPC content with Realistic Visual Style Views using the new Material User Interface (MUI). The new MUI was recently profiled by Dan Stine in AECbytes and is definitely worth a read.

Things to know:

  • RPC content in realistic visual style views will not export to DWG. Use a non-realistic visual style when exporting RPC content to DWG.
  • RPC content will display both back and front of the intended image in the Realistic visual style if the Cast Reflections type parameter is turned on. Turn this parameter off to view properly.
  • RPC Content Drag & Drop is not enabled.*

    Want to try RPC in Revit 2013? Start a free trial of Revit through Autodesk and free trial of RPC with ArchVision Dashboard.

    *Unfortunately, Autodesk Revit 2013 did not enable RPC Content Drag & Drop. However, ArchVision’s development team is working on an alternative to enable Drag & Drop from ArchVision Dashboard into Revit scenes. This will behave similarly to the Drag & Drop behaviors available to 3ds Max and AutoCAD users. We will continue to keep you updated on the progress of this feature.

    The Superbowl is over and that means racing season is here. Nothing builds the hype of racing season like a brand new car. Visit the ArchVision Dashboard and download one of these brand new cars and take it for a test drive in your next rendering.

    February’s car additions feature 3 late model Chevy vehicles. Download a dark red Chevy Camaro, a fuel efficient Chevy Aveo or the all new Chevy Cruze.

    Architecture and Design: Reasons to Attend AIA National Convention 2012

    February 1, 2012 by 1 Comment

    RPC Content features in AIA National Convention 2012 Banner.

    ArchVision attends and participates in a series of conferences and events each year. These events allows us to showcase the ease of use of RPC Content and more important, meet with customers and partners to discuss upcoming ArchVision technology and features. Events and expos such as these allow you to see, touch, and feel new product and demo new technologies. Invaluable is the face time you have with colleagues, customers and partners. And for many, the continuing education credit hours are of key importance.

    This year’s convention will be held in Washington, DC. (Exploring the city at night to photograph the monuments and buildings lit at night is a treat for anyone who appreciates design).

    We encourage you to explore the schedule and available classes offered at AIA National Convention 2012.

    The banner shown above touts the AIA National Convention 2012 theme: ‘the future of the practice of architecture.’ The 2012 Convention looks to be inspiring and we are very pleased to see the use of RPC Content featured in this context.
