hi all! I'm new to revit and am a freshman in arch school. i'd like to make a facade like this (http://construction.com/CE/CE_images/2012/Aug_Extech_7.jpg) after research i know this is called "polycarbonate",
i want to use this as my facade, so that light can emits through the translucent wall and looking cool at night, how can i make it? i know how to import an image as a new material and adjust those translucent thing but i just can't make it, anyone got this kind of material photo and experience in designing such facade?
thanks a lot! 11 days to my final review......!!

This is just a curtainwall with translucent panels instead of glass. Read about curtainwalls in your HELP.

You will just make a material and add Self Illimination to it in the Material Browser>"Your Material">Appearance>Self Illumination... if you want it to be a little transparent you can also set that in the same location.

In the material of the curtail wall panel you can set the transparency. Those vertical lines are girts.. most likely a C Channel that you would place as a beam in Revit.
