I'm new to Revit and I still haven't figured out how the materials and renderings work. I was able to attach materials and have them all visible in 3D view. However, when I try and do a elevation, section cut, or plan view (in realistic style) they are all white. I have attached the files below. I'd appreciate any help or suggestions, Thank you!
In the Material Editor - in the Graphics tab - make sure that Use Rendering Appearance checkbox is checked.
I do have it checked. I have the same material on a few objects. In plan view it shows on some and not on others. I am more concerned with the elevation/ sections.
Can you share a file that shows the behavior?
Is it the gray material on the chair that you are talking about?
Please see the attached file.
Here is what happened - the Scoop chair family has Detail Items on the elevations and plan of the seat geometry - hence the funky material-less elevations. I selected the Detail Items and made then invisible at Fine display. Reloaded it into the model and elevations and plan with Fine display look great.
Yes, unfortunately a LOT of manufacturer families come in with needless detail items covering the 3D geometry and creating problems with visualization in the model.
So far I have fixed the Scoop chair. Any other pieces of furniture having this issue - follow my suggestions above.
When I open your file I can see it fine. However when I try and do it in mine it doesn't work. How do I separate the details from the 3D geometry?
Make sure that your project is also open
In my file - select the chair.
Click Edit Family.
That will open the family - click Load into Project and select your project
This will overwrite the original family, and you should see the change
Open the family. go to an elevation view. Click on the geometry. Properties will tell you what it is that you have selected - most probably it will be the Detail Item. Click on its visibility / graphics override and uncheck Fine per my screenshot.
What this will do is that it will hide the detail item in an elevation which has Fine display. (Or - just take the easy route and erase the detail item). Load the family back into the project. It should display correctly.
