Hi guys!
is it possible in revit to prepare a "renderlist"? i mean, i set up for example 50 views/cameras, and then on friday i hit the render button and it renders all those views.. even if rendering takes only 5 minutes, multiplied by 50 or more it is over 4hours of waiting. if i set the quality higher then it can take 4/5 times as long.
so, is it possible to render out a sequence of cameras or do i have to export it to 3ds max?
thanks
frifer

ok thanks..
do you have a link to a guide or something like that to program revit plugins? i programmed a few addons for inventor in the past, so i MIGHT be able to program something here too.
thanks
regards

if you have a subscription use the Autodesk 360 Rendering site to do this.

thanks, but the image size is too small there. we have to print these images out so unfortunately 360 is not an option atm.
but i am already making progress with the add-in!
does somebody have a clue what the "export to civil engineering" is? (see image)

this does not sound good:
[quote]All settings in the Rendering Options dialogues are now exposed. The rendering itself cannot be launched programmatically yet, though[/quote]
i will have to think of something else.. like opening the render window and hit the render button programmatically.. lets hope it works..

I don't like 360 because I think the quality isn't the same when you render directly in revit, I tried several times, is realy faster but... I don't know... just my opinion (2 cents).
Anyway, keep going with that then please post here to all community...

I agree, you don't get the same look as you would if you rendered it in Revit. It's nice if you are in a pinch or you want to do a quick render to get an "idea" of what its going to look like but other than that I don't really sue it.

i agree the quality is not the same. but with 50 views, i didn't think they would all have to be high quality. In Revit that might be a while.

hi guys!
i am in a bit of trouble here.. and need ideas..
by now i can create a list of all renderable views, and start rendering of the first one. the problem is i dont know when the rendering is finished in order to save the picture and start the rendering of the next one..
i have 2 ideas, both not too convincing...
1) i check the active window. if it is called "rendering" then ill wait till it is gone.
-problems: the window might have different names for other languages, i need to include another dll in order to read the window name.
2) i keep opening the next scene in the list. as long as the render window is open the next scene wont open, as soon as the render window closes the scene will open and render.
-problems: as soon as the render window closes the next scene opens up, without giving me the time to save the picture witch would then remain unsaved and you would have to do it by hand. moreover i would have to use a while loop, using up processor, and that is definetly not what i want while i render.
any ideas?
regards
Igor

hi guys! first of all i would ask an administrator to move this topic to a proper section since it is not a help request anymore..
second i need your help! (lol.. ) i went for the first solution, but for that to work i need to know the name of the window in every possible language. the name of the windows i need are in the attached image. please provide me with the language and the name like this:
German: "Rendern" "Render-Fortschritt"
the more languages i have the more languages will be compatible with the add-in.
thanks
