Adjust Light Sources Before Rendering

A common goal of rendering an image is to check the effect of lighting on the building model. For example, suppose you want to evenly illuminate the facade of a building. After placing lighting fixtures, you want to make sure that the lights provide the desired result.

Before rendering, do as much as possible to plan the placement of lighting fixtures for maximum effect. In Revit, you can use 2D and 3D views to plan the appropriate spacing, angle, and setback of lighting fixtures in the building model. For the view’s visual style, use Shaded to see how the light hits a wall or other surface.
