Ceilings are Acting Like Mirrors- Revit Rendering

[Anonymous]

Hi All!

My rendering continues to show up with the ceilings and walls acting like mirrors. I have even tried replacing all window walls with solid walls to see if it was a reflection issue. If someone could give me some insight, as I am the only one using the program at my work.

Thanks!

To me it does not look like a mirror effect. It looks more like transparent. Have a look if your ceiling material to see if it has a transparency setting applied.

Otherwise consider uploading (part of) your project so we can have a look.

Thank you for your post.  It looks like form the image you have some mirroring and/or transparency settings causing ill render outputs in the supplied image.  In this case, I would agree with “Louis” about checking the transparency setting to see if this adjustment can then minimize this effect.  Additionally, if this should not work, please reply back with a sample copy of the model for review. This will help the group identify what could be contributing to this ill effect past the transparency possibility.

Please also refer to the below link in regards to the tips and tricks for rendering outputs.  Granted it is a little older, but there are some good tips in this that may help.   Thank you and please keep us posted in the community.
