Yes, for example, I am going to copy the link structural framing element inside my revit project, do I need to define the new element category and type or does it directly copy the element straight away inside my revit project?
When bringing in Linked objects into Rhino if they have been moved we would typically transform them. The copy in paste is bringing them from the location in the original file, not aware of a way around that in this case.
Out of curiousity, are people using live cuts when creating details? I know some places that will cut the live detail and use them as a background to place 2-D components over the top. The actual 3-D modeled elements then get hidden in the final product. At that point though, was there any real benefit to cutting the live detail? Did you save time by doing it that way? Just looking for a way to leverage Revit to make it beneficial and efficient. Thanks.
My recommendation is to cut live details of things that don't require placing detail lines and components over the model. Only cut live views of things that will update on their own as the model changes. For us, this is typically building elevation and full wall sections. We make all of our details using drafting views.
Thanks for the response back. We currently do about 95% of our detail cuts with drafting views. When cutting the live cuts it just seems like there is inevitably a lot of clean-up that has to go on, especially when dealing with sloped or skewed elements. After cleaning that stuff up and placing the necessary 2-D components, it almost feels like "what was the point?" Or, "did I save myself any time or effort?"

Revit Live cloud service turns Revit and Revit LT models into an immersive experience in one click, helping architects understand, explore, and share their designs. Revit Live connects Autodesk Revit software to the Live Service. The service prepares your Revit project for use in Live Editor by creating a .lvmd file.
Revit Live now offers more control over the Virtual Reality experience, by allowing users to choose between optimizing their scene for appearance or performance, and suggests recommended optimization setting based on their hardware. Revit Live 1.8 also brings support for Revit 2018 and Revit LT 2018.
The latest 1.8 version of Revit Live takes another incremental step towards reaching the goal of making VR easy and seamless. While, the first version of Revit Live optimized the models themselves to offer a smooth experience in real-time, the last few releases saw improvements in the service, like levels-of-detail and instancing.
Virtual Reality is taking an interesting path for the future. More mobile virtual reality devices are surfacing, which exponentially increases the complexity of getting large models into VR on smart phones. These devices need to be connected to your data at all times, and the data itself needs to be further optimized by an entire order of magnitude for it to run on these new devices.
Solibri Office enables you to deliver that reliability and trust; putting an end to uncertainty by making it easy to identify issues at the outset, coordinate and communicate validated data, and simplify/automate rules-based model checking

In Revit plugin there is an option to save an image as a rendering. However, edition possibilites in that option are limited (you cannot even crop the view:/) and the image is saved/blocked (not updating while model changes). All these aspects considered, makes it a bit unuseful. It creates a need to use an external editor to postproduct the image and then upload it into the Revit, which makes it, in my opinion, a bit annoying.
I am aware that it won't be an easy task, but I truly believe that such an option would be used a lot. It would allow to make most of the presentations on the Revit level, without any additional programs and without continous updating raster images.
This is exactly what I wanted to say. If there is a capacity to make this possible, this function would be used on every single project at any firm that uses Enscape. Quality live 3D in sheets would help a lot actually with design intent for contractors to see, and resolve questions that the current revit view cannot.
At the risk of using the "A" word, ArchiCad has the ability to set an "autotext" reference in a string of text so the text will update live when a detail it refers to is moved to a different sheet or renumbered.
You need to basically create a text element that has some room for the reference and then place it into the right spot. It would be nice if it was all part of the text tool, but you can do it with a little manual manipulation.
OMG Autodesk please fix this. We miss so many text detail references in our keynotes and it's a problem when we move things around. This is logical and should be very easy to implement. Get on it please!!
When making changes to materials, lights, objects, etc. via Revit, these adjustments are instantly recognized and automatically translated into Enscape when Live Updates is enabled. This functionality can of course also be deactivated when required.
Live Updates is also available whilst VR mode is activated. This allows making adjustments to a project which, when implemented, allows the user who is wearing the VR headset to see the corresponding changes in real time. Furthermore, Live Updates are always activated by default. To deactivate this feature, please follow the corresponding instructions set out below.
Once Enscape has been started in Revit, you can enable / disable the live link between the two softwares by clicking the Resume Live Updates / Pause Live Updates button:
As long as Live Updates is enabled the ability to click and access the Active Document menu in the Revit ribbon where you can select a View is maintained. Having Live Updates disabled breaks that link.
Synchronize Views allows synchronizing the view between Revit and Enscape. Any perspective/movement changes which are executed in Revit will immediately be translated into Enscape.
Hi,There are three components that are required to run the LiveSync connection:1. Revit2. the Lumion plugin (downloaded from here which ensures a connection)3. Lumion (the main application)The role of the plugin is to seamlessly transfer the information from the CAD software to Lumion. However, although the plugin is free, the main application can be obtained as a trial, a student version, or a commercial version.If you need any more assistance, please reach out to our support team here: -us/articles/360042039073
We downloaded and installed the 'free' Lumion add-in. (Revit 2023) when we pressed the play button a digi box appeared stating could not run in this version and must upgrade. Fine, clicked on it but then it takes you to the Lumion home page which is a paid sub...so Free is very misleading.
I have circular spaces in my project, in revit it looks smooth round without edges, but when ı throw it to the lumıon to render, the polygon numbers decrease and look diagonal. Is there a solution?I already set the parameter "smoothing surface" on high but the results is still bad.
Hi MarlenaThanks for asking. You can use LiveSync For Revit with student editions of Revit. Please contact Lumion Technical Support to assist (see links top right or at top of the product description).
Na hora de salvar o arquivo no aparece algumas opces como por exemplo salvar cenas, salvar modeloes e cenas... E depois do salvamento no possivel abrir o arquivo mais. Esse o unico problema que aparece, fora isso esse software otimo!
Hi Fernanda, I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble with the plugin.Please click on the following link to contact us at the Lumion Support Center so that we can assist you with your problem: in advance.
Estaba buscando en diferentes pginas y hay muchas personas que tienen el mismo problema. Se produce con una nueva versin del complemento "Lumion LiveSync for Revit plug-in Informacin de versin: 3.60.538", el complemento que se actualiz el 11 de junio, esta nueva versin tiene un problema. hay muchas personas con el problema y nadie encontr una solucin
The object reference issue is unrelated to the plugin but we have found a solution for those licensed users who have contacted us so far.As this plug-in page is meant to be for reviews rather than technical support, we would encourage you to click on the following link to contact us as the Lumion Support Center, so that we can assist you with your problem. Thanks in advance.
