Practical ideas for Revit, BIM and construction technology. Built from years of shared experience.
So what’s the deal with Stingray? Basically we are talking about a realtime rendering engine that talks to 3ds Max. As we know, Max talks to Revit. Autodesk is essentially providing (another) realtime…
I have previously discussed going from Navisworks to Revit using FBX – 3dsMax – SAT. However, maybe we can do this without 3dsMax. Did you know that vanilla AutoCAD has a FBXIMPORT command? 1) Export …
“new ability to import and visualize massive datasets captured from reality as point clouds. If you are a modeler, you can view point clouds in true color in the 3ds Max viewport, interactively adjust…
Two new videos on Autodesk Building Solutions Channel. The first one shows how to use features of 3DS Max to quickly add animated people to an animation of a Revit model. Nice! Open embedded content: …
Interesting post with some helpful graphics, images and videos from Payette: Read the whole post: Workflow for Iterative Design: Revit and 3ds Max…

I have spent hours trying to figure out how to take actual camera locations from 123D (Photofly) and get them into Revit as ‘real’ cameras (3D views). I thought it would be cool to be able to use a re…
