I've read solutions for this in the forums, but it seems to be for 2009 and earlier, because I dont see where to click for alpha render. Can someone describe where the setting is for alpha renders in 2010. Thank You

Also if it's possible to get rid of the ground revit likes to put in, how is that done?

Export the image and save it as a TIFF file. This will remove the ground also.

Saving as a TIFF does not work. TIFF's do not even recognize transparent layers. Needs to be a GIF or PNG....

As far as I know exporting as a tiff removes everything except the building and leaves the surrounding space as transparent. Have not tested in 2010. Then you can re-import that image and overlay it on a background image and use the 'move to front / back' tools.

Needs to be a TIFF or a PNG. A GIF does not contain transparent layers.

So I am not 100% sure of your application of the transpparent layering is but I guarantee that Tiff supports transparent layering because I have used it in my training and the Tiff file format has not changed since 1992. Perhaps this will explain. Go to this page below and on the left side click 'REVIT 2009 Miscellaneous' > Rendering with Background Images. Watch that video. (right click and zoom to full screen) At approx. 2:30 into that video I export as Tif and then re-import it into a drafting view and use the transparency to underlay a background image. Perhaps REVIT 2010 has changed the export as Tif format? Have not tested yet. CADclips Free Videos Wikipedia actually says GIF, Tiff and PNG all support transparent layers. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(graphic) more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layers_(digital_image_editing) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIFF Edited on: Fri, Sep 18, 2009 at 10:07:42 AM
