Options Dialog: Rendering Tab

Provide information on how to access images to be used when rendering the 3D model.

• File tab Options. Click the Rendering tab.

On the Rendering tab of the Options dialog, you can 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.

Note: To configure paths for RPC content, use ArchVision™ Dashboard only. If you add RPC paths to the Additional Render Appearance Paths list, rendered images display watermarks on the RPC content.

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...
add a path	click . Enter a path, or click , navigate to the desired location, and click Open.
remove a path	select the path in the list, and click .
change the order of the listed paths	select a path in the list, and click the arrows until the paths are listed in the desired order. Revit searches these paths in the order listed.
