At Ideate, we often are asked about the 'other' products that are included in Building Design Suites. One of the un-sung products is Autodesk Showcase.
PROBLEM: How do I show my Revit model in a more realistic environment? Plus I want to not show the whole model; How do I show a section cut through the model to illustrate how the architectural spaces interact?
ANSWER: Use interoperability within the Building Design Suite – with the use of Autodesk Showcase. Section Box functionality within Revit and interoperability with Showcase gives AEC firms new workflow options.
A section box can be used in Revit to limit the visibility of objects, especially useful in a large project! As part of the Autodesk Building Suite with its new workflow options, you can now use the section box to quickly cut through a model, take it into Showcase and produce fast renderings. Very cool!
Watch the following video for an example:
