Hi all, *Revit 2011 question. I'm a long time Revit user and just recently got back into doing some rendering - fantastic improvement over the older Revit rendering engines, btw. Anyway, I'm having a bit of a struggle trying to achieve a particular look using cutout and wondered if there is something I'm missing or maybe there is a work-around? I'm trying to achieve a wooden walkway, made up of 2X's secured together about 1/2" apart to achieve a grate-like walkway (see images for example). The problem is, that when using the cutout option in a material to achieve this look, the entire walkway is hollow. So instead of 2x's being stacked next to each other, I looks more like a 2X ribbon of wood wrapping around an invisible shape. How do I get the cutout to create sides to each cutout? Short of modeling the walkway (I have this style walkway throughout the entire project) Edited on: Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 9:24:02 AMsorry, having a hard time getting my files uploaded on here for some reason. I'm trying to upload 5 images and all 5 images are listed in the file attachment box, but only one shows up? Edited on: Wed, Mar 9, 2011 at 9:34:33 AM

Do you have the same "Scale" in "Cut-Outs" and in "Generic" and "Bump"? watch images attached

hmm, interesting. I'm actually using a different cutout image file from the main image file. They are not the same scale. I will create a new cutout image specifically for this task and make sure the scale it the same. Thanks for the reply!

I created a new material, set the generic and bump to the same material image and the same scale and I created a cutout image from the same file, but black and white. I found that when I use the material image for the cutout image, the wood looks transparent. In any case, I am still having the same issue. Did you model the 2x4's shown in your image, or is that one solid element with the material applied to it?

Did you get this resolved? I am having the same problem. I am using a black and white image for the cutout and bump. Could that be the issue?

no, I never did resolve the issue. I moved onto other rendering projects. I did a similar feature in this bathroom scene, but I modeled the wood slats vs. applying a material to achieve the look I was after. I am, however, still curious if it can be done because I'm sure I will revisit problem again in the future.

Maybe you can try using Reflectivity for the cut out part. I mean when the light hit at 90 degree it transparent. Whe the light hit at other angle it can be opaque. Mabe it can solve part of your problem.
