The title says it all...... Is it possible to render a walkthrough in Revit Architecture 2009. No problems creating the walkthrough or rendering a model..... just can't seem to find the render walkthrough option (if indeed there is one!) Thanks

Exterior Rendering is much quicker than interior rendering as you don't need as high a quality. An interior rendering walkthrough in Revit at any decent quality is unachieveable for any longer than 5 seconds of video. It would typically take about 2-3 weeks for most of the stuff we do to render a 60 second long walkthrough... An exterior rendering however typically takes around 5 minutes to render a frame at a decent quality. So 60 seconds at 15 frame/second = 900 Frames = 75 Hours of rendering...

Yes you can do that, right click on walthrough, go to properties, you must pick in render options, then export walkthrough, a window appears the click on render option

First of all thanks all for your prompt replies! Secondly, following on from KingRevit and Typhoon's comments, which walkthrough file type would be best to use in Revit to then open the saved walkthrough in Max, ie how do you export it into Max? Your help is greatly appreciated. Jonathan, Manchester, England

if you export your modle to max using the fbx export then set your walkthrough path and camera in revit.

How does a walkthrough work in MAX? I can't seem to use Max nearly as well as revit or Artlantis?

With today's Autodesk's 360 cloud rendering service that is available today, can you just send the exported walkthrough to the cloud to render? Anybody?

The cloud will not do animation Rendering last I checked. So no walkthroughs
