Provide information on how to access images to be used when rendering the 3D model.
Click the Rendering tab of the Options dialog to specify the following:
- paths for files used for render appearances
- paths for files used for decals
- configuration information for ArchVision™ Dashboard
Additional Render Appearance Paths
Specify the locations of files used for render appearances. For example, you can specify paths for the following:
- Image files used to define a custom color, design, texture, or bump map for a render appearance.
- Image files for decals.
Suppose you specify image files for render appearances. When Revit needs to access the image file, first it looks in the location specified for the file, using the absolute path. If it cannot find the file in that location, Revit then searches the paths that you specify in this list, in the order in which the paths are listed.
| If you want to... | Then... |
