Rendering of office space using only Revit 2017 and Enscape (no post-production). But, now that I work on commercial and healthcare projects, I really have to use a more efficient tool. All of my renderings used the program and I utilized some amazing plugins and was constantly on the hunt in the SketchUp Wearhouse for cool things to add to my views. I remember back in the day of college years where I felt like such a master at SketchUp. The problem is, when you get to working on large projects, and need multiple people in the same file at the same time, it’s not so great. Don’t get me wrong – I have seen small firms use SketchUp to create actual documents (heck, even the more popular HGTV shows use this tool to show potential design).
#ENSCAPE REVIT AMIBENT LIGHTING FREE#
While SketchUp is more simplistic (and the go-to free program for a poor college student) it lacks the ability to utilize some heavy documentation ability.
Looking around further I found other, more typical, light fixtures for that space placed and felt the need to investigate.Īutodesk Revit and SketchUp could potentially do similar things but in very different ways. Thinking there was a lot of decorative lighting, I selected one and found it was part of a group – a much larger group. In a recent instance, I happened across a view where orbs were neatly placed in a grid. In this view, I will hide ceilings but tend to keep lights shown so I can understand the relationship between the plan and lighting above. In all my projects, I like to set up a 3D axon view of my entire floor plan(s) for the purposes of visually seeing all of the spaces 3-dimensionally, quickly, and easily. Unfortunately, there tend to be some habits learned in SketchUp that worked great for the purposes of the program, that just should not be brought over to the Revit world. It’s no surprise that Revit is a completely different program from something like SketchUp.
