Revit model + Google Image

mairh_tsek — Wed, 07 Nov 2018 16:27:56 GMT

Hello all,

I have an existing building and the new extension that I created in Revit.

I want to create a 'realistic' view with the existing building (I have an image) and also the 3D model in Revit.

How can I do it?

Which software I need?

Until now I have the Enscape plug-i n but I cannot get the result that I want!

Thank you in advance!

Export your Revit Image with a transparent background then bring that into Photoshop...

You can get a good quality image and use a decal on a plan with your Revit model

Set the image as the background image for your rendering so that you can align the camera to a matching angle. Then you can choose to render with the background image, or render with a transparent background and merge them in Photoshop.

I set the image as a background and I found a good angle. The problem is that I want to move the building 'back'. How can I do it?

Thank you!
