Hi, Ive been asked to produce a rendered floor plan for a refit of a building we own, to be shown to the public. My boss has given me an autocad .dwg of the floor plan and asked me to "pretty it up".
Ive seen that I have Revit Structure 2016 on this computer as part of Infrastructure Design Suite, and am wondering if this might be the right program to do it. I'd never used the program until yesterday, but so far I've linked the .dwg file into a Revit project and traced all the walls.
Now I need to add the doors, windows, office furniture and some textures/hatches/fills (im not sure what you call them in Revit). Have I got the right software, or is this only possible in Revit Architecture?
I see that I have an "architecture" tab with buttons for windows and components etc, but when I click to add them, it asks me to find the relevant libraries/families, and I cant find them (ive tried searching for the relevant filetypes and only found libraries of steel and rebar). I'm going to ask our IT dept. where these libraries might be kept, or if they were installed in the first instance, but before I spend too much more time on it, I'd like to check whether or not I'm actually using the right version of Revit.
Any advice would be appreciated, thanks for your time.
Regards,
Archie
