About Plants and Entourage
Entourage includes the landscaping and other environmental features shown in a rendering of a building.
Create an RPC Family
Use the Family Editor to create a Revit family for entourage, including people, cars, plants, and office clutter. In an RPC family, you can specify an ArchVision RPC file to use for the render appearance.
Specify a Render Appearance for an RPC Family
An RPC family is a Revit entourage family created using the RPC Family.rft or Metric RPC Family.rft template files. For these entourage objects, you can specify RPC files to use for their render appearances.
Create an Entourage Family
You can create an entourage family that does not use RPC content for render appearances.
About ArchVision Dashboard Revit provides many RPC objects that you are licensed to use in rendered images for Revit projects. If desired, you can download ArchVision™ Dashboard to obtain and manage additional RPC content to use in projects.
Configure Revit for Additional RPC Content
To use additional RPC content in projects (beyond what is provided with the software), download ArchVision™ Dashboard and configure Revit to access it.
Use Additional RPC Content from ArchVision
