thankyou for your reply! I am trying to accomplish something quite simple which is referencing model lines from Revit without having to manually select them all each time by using the line type as a filter. I am then using model lines to organize and place families through Grasshopper.

If you have Model and Detail lines (view dependent) in a view and select you will only get the common properties. This is what you are getting in the Inspect Element. Like the Revit UI filter you will need to create some logic in your definition to get exactly what you are looking for.

Perfect! that is what I was looking for, a quick way to select Lines in the active view (or a specific view). For the moment this works well and I can refine the script as I move forward. Thank you very much for your time!

It is a very complex model of a stadium and I need to do some walk through videos and while I can section out interior areas and they will work ok, but there are a few paths I need to do that start at the exterior and end up inside so I need all the models on and rendering.

Thanks Zoomer,

Unfortunately, I can't get another computer as I have just got this one and my boss work ok another one.

So I spent some time cleaning up all the models and deleting all views, sheets etc etc and purged etc and I was able to open it, I wouldn't have though the views and sheets etc would have that much of a impact.

I wouldn't be surprised if there are some problem Components in one of your files that is causing the problem. Start Ensape with one file open and then sequentially turn on the visibility of all of the other links. If Enscape crashes when you try to refresh one of the links go back to that link and see if there's problem elements.

The biggest VRAM consumers are textures and Enscape itself (frame buffer, acceleration structures, shadow maps and so on). Geometry usually does not take much space. Views, sheets, etc. do not have any significant effect on the Enscape memory consumption at all.

To use as little memory as possible for Enscape itself, you should try to switch to "Draft" quality mode prior to starting Enscape with that model. Also keep Enscape window small - if you have a 4k display and have Enscape fullscreen - you have lost a few gigabytes of VRAM already.

Textures are scaled down with respect to the world size they occupy, where possible. Even if you have hundreds of textures in the project it will be somewhat hard to waste more that 1-2 gigabytes for textures.

Above suggestion is *very* interesting. Try starting the project with the Material Selection set to Graphic rather than Appearance (General Settings). Enscape Support can confirm if this will reduce GPU compute and memory requirements if Enscape doesn't need to render Appearance mode.

I'm using Revit 2021 and worksharing a project. The client has requested we upload the model to Autodesk Viewer so they can look around. I originally uploaded a workshared Revit file without realising the 3D view was cropped by a section box so the 3D appeared cropped in Autodesk Viewer.

I removed the section box and uploaded the file again but the 3D still appeared cropped in the same location once I opened it in Viewer. This I retried a few times, moving/removing the section box each time but with the same result. I had a play with the section box tool in Viewer but it only further crops what's been uploaded.

I have saved a new model which is no longer linked to the central model and under a different file name. I've uploaded it again with the same result. I have asked a colleague to try and upload a separate file from their computer which is also appearing cropped in Viewer.

In these two most recent uploads we had; 1. streched the section box out far beyond the extents of the model and, 2. removed the section box entirely. In both uploads the thumbnails of the 3D view are displaying correctly, it's only when I go into the files that the 3Ds revert to the original cropped view. All other sheets have displayed correctly.

I was working on a design for school. I tried to use the perspective cube to get a top look. This did not turn out great, when clicking 'top', my 3D model jumped out of view and now I can't seem to find it again. All floor plans and previously placed 3D camera views are still there, so I know my project is not like deleted.

I linked the file with this comment, it's a previous version where I haven't lost the model yet, but you can replicate the problem by trying to adjust the view using the viewing cube. Same thing happens when I try to switch the projection mode from orthographic to perspective.

Please be so kind as to send me a screenshot of this problem, as well as feedback through the "Feedback" button which can be found to the right in your Enscape ribbon. Don't forget to add your forum name or some other reference in the submission form so that we can connect the ticket to this thread. This way we should get all the information necessary to identify the cause behind this behavior.

We are also experiencing this issue. There are many walls and floors missing in the Enscape view that are in our Revit model and in some cases, part of the geometry is present and part of it is missing. We are using an HTC Vive, an i7 6800k Broadwell processor, and a GeForce RTX 2070 with the newest driver installed. Our Revit model is 185 MB in size & a 200,000 square foot 4 story building. Please see attached images. In the first image I have a side by side of the Revit 3d view vs the Enscape view and the other two images are just showing missing or partially missing elements (floors, windows). We have not spent any time applying Revit materials. Is this an known issue, are there file size limitations?

Hey reacharchitects , thanks a lot for your post and feedback report. It would be very helpful if you could please send us the project file for further troubleshooting purposes. Before that, you could also, if you have a very large ground plane, reduce it substantially to see if this helps already.

Like above posts have stated; Some elements in Enscape are not showing up regardless their view state within Revit. It does not seem to be localized to one machine or one license or one model either. I look forward to resolving this issue soon.

Is there any chance you could send me a corresponding project in which this behavior is reproduceable? Are you perchance using Enscape with rather large projects, and does reducing the overall size / ground plane help with that problem?

We also received a report about missing geometry when Enscape is being used alongside Revit 2019, with a project which has been converted beforehand (from 2018 to 2019 for example). You can check if that is the cause for this problem by using Revit's own renderer - do you see all the elements at hand which are missing in Enscape, or are some missing in the produced Revit rendering as well?

Demian Gutberlet Unfortunately, I am unable to send a project to you as they all contain proprietary and confidential information. I am using Enscape with large projects, and using the section box within Revit is the only way I am able to get some of the geometry to appear within that area. The projects we are having issues also were upgraded from Revit 2019 to Revit 2019. When rendered in Revit all elements appear as normal.

In that case, BIM , to further troubleshoot this, could you please send us some feedback through the Feedback button? Please also add your forum name or some other reference so that we know the report is from you. Thanks a lot in advance!

Experiencing missing geometry also using Revit 2019. I was using the latest Geforce graphics driver but I have just installed the Enscape recommended and issue still remains. I have sent a 'feedback' report via revit.

Here is a screenshot:

I'm sorry to hear about that. Is there any chance that the floor is very, very large? If so, does down-scaling the floor help with displaying it again? Is the floor being displayed correctly in Revit itself? If down-scaling doesn't help, it would be great if you could share the project with me if possible. You can upload it, and send me the link to download via PM if the project is confidential.
