AMC Bridge upgrades Revit to Kineo

Revit® to Kineo™ is a technology presentation for Autodesk® Revit® supported with the Siemens Kineo™ software to work out the paths necessary for shifting an object within a building model. It facilitates you to visualize the transition of the object along the estimated path in a 3D animation.

Revit to Kineo offers the following functionalities :-

• Choose an object to move.
• Choose obstacles to circumvent.
• Establish the parameters of the model and the obstacles.
• Arrange the start and end points of the path.
• Measure the path.
• Adjust or smoothen the resulting path to obtain the optimum length.
• Export the path to Revit for animation.
• Play or reset the animation, step it backward or forward in Revit.

Compatibility:

• Windows operating system.
• Autodesk Revit.
• A separate Kineo license.

For online demonstration of Revit to Kineo, watch the following video tutorial.

How Twinmotion 2018 is synchronized with Revit

This Revit video provides brief demonstration on Twinmotion 2018 that will launched very soon by Abvent. The newest version will be very useful for architectural visualization via 3D immersion with some simple clicks of the mouse.

Twinmotion 2018 is supported with Unreal Engine. It is very user-friendly and powerful for architects and designers to generate images, videos, panoramas and executable files.

Twinmotion 2018 offers real-time collaboration with ArchiCAD and Autodesk Revit. Given below, some exclusive features of the software :-

It produces photorealistic visualisations of buildings as well as imports models in a standard range of 3D file formats, together with FBX, DWG and DAE.

The Users will be able to develop background environments out of a library of stock models and textures, and attribute lights.

There are various types of atmospheric properties which range from clouds, rain and snow, as well as ambient lighting on the basis of geographical location and time of day. These are modified through slider-based controls.

There also exist brush-based systems for editing topography or inserting animatiable vegetation to a scene, and a Bezier-based system for pathing animated crowds or traffic.

The software also comprises of a basic camera editor and a set of standard post-process effects.

A new extension is launched to export models & scenes directly to sketchfab

Emanuel Favreau from Larose McCallum Architects, Autodesk Revit, has created a new plugin that facilitates the Revit users to export models and upload their scenes directly to Sketchfab devoid of opening Revit as well as view these scenes in 3D and virtual reality from any device just by following a link.

How to install:

1. Download the installer from the Autodesk App Store.
2. Run the installer.

3. Launch Revit.
4. The plugin will be accessible under the Add-Ins tab.

Application Process:

1. Open or generate a 3D View in a Revit project.
2. Locate Sketchfab under the Add-Ins tab and click on Login.
3. A web window will be visible to log into your Sketchfab account.
4. Authorize the app to make entry in your account.
5. After being authorized, return to Revit.
6. Click on Upload.

7. Provide a title, description, tags and labelled the model as Private and/or Draft if required.
8. Click OK.
9. A web window will open your account in the uploads section. Now edit the model's 3D Settings.
10. To log out your Sketchfab account from Revit, locate Sketchfab under the Add-Ins tab and click on Logout.

How to use revit for generating animated GIFS

In this construction article, you will learn how to use revit for generating your own animated GIFs.

Animated GIFs are most effective while employing a consistent view point and modify something inside the view, as for example the clarity of the elements or the cutting plane of a section box. Here, the cutting plane of a section box is modified in order that the GIF can animate the movement of the section via the building.

Initially, generate the 3D view and activate the section box. It is the starting view and ensure that the section box isn’t cutting the building. This view is titled as a “_01” suffix. A new 3D view template is also generated and included to this view. This template will be applied to manage the clarity of the section box in all the animation views.

After completing it, replicate the view, move the section box into the building by about 20 feet and redefine the view with an “02” suffix.

The entire method of replicating the view, moving the section box, and renaming the view is continued unless the section box has moved through the whole building.

It is recommended to utilize minimum 8 – 10 images. The animation will be smoother as the numbers of images are increased.

As soon as all the views are produced, edit the view template and deactivate the section box.

Step 2 – Export Images

After generating all the images, export them using the “Export Image” dialog. Go to the Revit button, choose “Export” then “Images and Animations” and lastly, “Image”. It will introduce the “Export Image” dialog.

In the “Export Image” dialog, choose the views to export in the “Export Range” section. Suppose, you are going to utilize PNG files, then in the “Format” section, PNG for “Shaded views” and “Non shaded views” are selected. Also, arrange the image size for the images in the “Image Size” section. It is suggested to apply 600 pixels horizontal for animated GIFs.

Choose the output folder then click “OK” to export the images.

Step 3 – Load Images into Photoshop

Now, the image files are ready for the animation, these should be transferred into the GIF file and animated. It will be performed with Photoshop. The initial step is to load the individual image files as layers with the “Load Files into Stack” script. To obtain the script, go to File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack.

Each image will be shown as a separate layer in the “Layers” dialog box.

Walk-Through-3D – A useful add-in for CAD professionals

Walk-Through-3D belongs to a proof of concept (POC) add-in that can associate leading CAD packages and Unity® gaming development platform.

The add-in provides support for exporting 3D model geometry to Unity so that the users can get a first-person 3D shooter game-like experience whereas employing the model as the 3D environment.

Walk-Through-3D supports is compatible with Autodesk Revit (2016 - 2018) and Rhino3D (Rhino 5 for Windows).

Given below, some exclusive features of the add-in :-

• Export of 3D model geometry containing materials and textures from Revit or Rhino to Walk-Through-3D;

• Handling of the consequent 3D model in a identical fashion to a 3D first-person shooter game;

• Creation of a seperate implementable package to view the exported model in a three-dimensional illustration that needs neither CAD software nor Unity installations.

Walk-Through-3D for Autodesk Revit offers the following exclusive features :

• capability to use weather effects;
• capability to modify light source settings;
• support of HTC® Vive virtual reality headset and controllers;
