The last point I would like to bring up is the unique way Revizto ties the model view to the Issue Tracking environment. By taking the plan view, section, elevation (etc) into Revizto, now when questions arise of how the space will look, or impact other parts of the building, we can go directly from the sheet view into a 2D/3D overlay view. For instance, if using the 2D sheets in a review meeting, sometimes the information can become misconstrued by those who cannot visualize the space. By using the sheet as the cut plane to the model, users can easily generate an overlay view while discussing certain spaces of the project.
REVIZTO FOR SKETCHUP SOFTWARE
Revizto ties the 2D drawings brought from the design software to the 3D environment. All while being able to tie these settings into a viewpoint or appearance template – the options become endless. Whether selecting objects to generate a box section or turning an entire link transparent to see behind walls as a mechanical system discussion unfolds. View creation flexibility could also be mentioned when looking at Revizto’s 3D environment.
The same would apply to Rhino, SketchUp scenes, and many of the other software that Revizto is a plug in to-making the model not only familiar to the designer but again, adding a level of efficiency to the workflow. For instance, if a camera view is generated in Revit, these also come with the exported model into Revizto as viewpoints. Not only are users able to generate perspective views from within Revizto, but also bringing in views from the authoring tool. While many other software solutions provide the same functionality, Revizto takes this efficiency to the next level. The 3D environment in Revizto, views can be preset before coordination or client reviews. While a very effective method for giving a close representation of the design intent, these platforms are not easily maneuverable as far as model navigation.Įfficiency is yet another aspect of the platform to consider when selecting a model coordination tool. Coordination or Client Reviews? Both!Īs we all know, one of the main ways to deliver a design proposal is through renderings generated from design models. The intent for Revizto is not to generate static still images or close to life building walkthroughs – there is something to be said for having a quickly navigated model with closely represented materials for discussion points. While one other project member and myself generated the materials, lighting, and watched the progress bar churn, I couldn’t help but think how nice it would be to have an entire room of people working with us. During a project where we were generating interior space renderings, it was brought to my attention that TEAMS of people would produce 3Ds Max renderings, walkthroughs, or flybys. While Revizto is not a rendering solution, the versatility in model-view creation can be an incredibly compelling way to deliver a model presentation.Ĭoming from years of experience in software such as Lumion, Enscape, and even 3Ds Max, I can certainly appreciate the need for a more maneuverable, easy-to-use 3D environment tool.
Aside from loading an FBX into a rendering tool, or using a plugin for Revit when generating realistic renderings, the 3D model view can be one of the most powerful methods for generating talking points with clients. When creating a Building Information Model, one key aspect has always been intriguing for designers – the 3D perspective. Infinite 3D view possibilities? Maybe not unlimited, but there are quite a few great ones. David Ray, Implementation Service Manager Architecture 3D View Creation with Revizto
