SUPERIOR GLASS - Include textures onto your crystal clear materials. Convincingly refract light can be transmitted through glassy. It is known as refraction and facilitates to produce a very precise illustration of glass elements in your scene. The support of material parameters for crystal clear surfaces like color, transparency, glossiness and bump textures has been improved as well as translated into Enscape.

POLYSTYROL MODE - The Polystyrol Mode is also improved with the inclusion of a more physically accurate subsurface light scattering to simulate the light behavior in thin material. The transmission parameter can be modified on the basis of the scale that is necessary for the model to be demonstrated. With reference to light scattering, the Transmission in a 1:50 model is lower than in a 1:100 model.

AUTO CONTRAST AND SHARPENING - A few common and convenient parameters are added in Enscape. The sharpening now sharpens any image devoid of producing dark halos around objects. The Auto Contrast expands the levels of your image histogram to provide the highest color range from black to white. It can recover a bad exposure. Auto Contrast can optimize the visual beauty if the lighting is monotone in the certain view.

How To Use Dynamo Revit To Create A Helix Ramp With Topography

This revit video sheds light on how to generate Helix Ramp with topography by Dynamo for Revit.

Dynamo for Revit expands building information modeling with the data and logic environment of a graphical algorithm editor. It is very flexible and associated with a powerful Revit database. It creates a new approach for BIM.

The objective of dynamo is to simplify AEC workflows in Revit and facilitate the users to avail the database of Revit outside of the restraints of the interface.

Revit hosts an extensive API (Application Program Interface) that facilitates the third-party developers to generate custom tools. And programmers apply this API for years, but text-based scripting isn't available to each person. With the help of an accessible graphical algorithm editor, Dynamo standardizes Revit data easily.

With the use of core Dynamo nodes in conjugation with custom Revit ones, a user will be able to significantly extend parametric workflows for interoperability, documentation, analysis, and generation. With Dynamo, laborious workflows are automated when design explorations can flourish.

How To Draw Circle With Various Methods In AutoCAD

This is an exclusive autocad tutorial where the autocad users can learn how to apply different methods in AutoCAD for creating the design of circles. The methods used here vary from radius method, diameter method, 2P (two points) and 3P (three points) methods. The autoCAD users can apply various circle commands.

2P means drawing a circle on the basis of two points on the circumference. 3P means drawing a circle on the basis of three points on the circumference.

3P Method: Initially go to the menu Draw>Circle>3 Points. Then the command prompt will send notification as _3p Specify first point on circle. This is just notifying you to select a point on the screen that will be your first point. Then AutoCAD will send notification to Specify second point on circle i.e. choose another point to draw your circle.

2P Method: This command is mostly effective while going to create circle tangent to arcs, lines or circles. As for instance, if there exist a line and an arc and it is required to produce a circle tangent and among those two objects

How To Produce Solar/Shadow Studies With Revit

Prior to start a solar study, organize a view to show light and shadows. Apply the following useful tips :-
• Generate a 3D view.

To show light and shadows efficiently on a project, apply 3D views of the building model. Show standard plan views like floor plans and ceiling plans, abstain from demonstrating various elements in 3D, therefore, there will be no shadows to be casted from these elements.

The sun path and shadows can be accessed in all 3D views devoid of those applying the Wireframe or Consistent Colors visual style. In 2D views, the sun path can be accessed in floor plans, reflected ceiling plans, elevations, and sections.

Note: The sun path’s on-screen controls can’t be edited in perspective, walkthrough, or rendered 3D views.

• Rotate a view to True North to perfectly demonstrate the position of the sun concerning the project through solar study.
• While creating a lighting solar study, state the location of the sun corresponding to the view.
