materials - diffuse, oa, displacement, normal or specular?

[fortywebs]

Hello everyone,

I have downloaded some new bricks to use in Revit. I know what a bump map does, but the materials have downloaded with all the above files. Does anyone have experience of these in revit, and which is the best to use along with a bump file? Should I put any of the other files anywhere else? I'm looking for the most realistic quality for rendering. What are your experiences and preferences of using these?

In "Appearance" Revit only provides the opportunity to add the Generic Image, the Transparency, Cutouts and Bump. So I have only been using the Generic Image and Adding the purple "Normal" image to "Bump". Is there more I can do? 

many thanks for your help

Not much else you can do. Specular and Displacement mapping are for more advanced program like 3DMax. Revit can do decent rendering but you might better off with Lumion and Enscape if you want to go above and beyond.

I'm trying to use pbr materials in Revit.

Which workflow is used by Revit？

Metal - Roughness or Specular - Glossiness?
