Revit Tutorial - Mapping Patterns and Materials (Enjoy Revit)

Labels: , , , , ,

This is a very, very, cool tip.  If you have ever had crazy geometry and attempted to wrap it with a material and then render it... You will know that some crazy results can occur.  So how would you make a soldier course pattern and rendering material follow an arch like this:


By slightly sloping the sweep in the direction you want the pattern to run!  Say what!?  Yeah... I will let HyunWoo from Enjoy Revit explain:










How awesome is that!?!

Make sure you head over to Enjoy Revit and thank HyunWoo for these videos.

Absolutely, positively perfect timing. I literally JUST got back from a new project with existing brick arches wondering 'How is that going to happen in Revit?'. Thankyouthankyouthankyou

Looks like you just need to rotate the texture map by 90 degrees. Manage> Materials> Project Materials > Appearance > Image > Angle:

couple of things to remember; might want to duplicate the material first, so you have a 90 a 0 degree version of the material. Also, if there is a bump map or relief pattern, rotate them also.

You can email me if you get stuck - hello(at)revittutorialsonline.com
