Architectural Enhancements in Revit 2016
Rendering – According to Autodesk.com, “When rendering a static 3D view, you can now choose between 2 rendering engines: NVIDIA mental ray and Autodesk Raytracer. Raytracer rendering does not support some quality and background options that are available with NVIDIA mental ray. Autodesk Raytracer is an option for rendering a static image only. Revit continues to use the NVIDIA mental ray engine for functions such as: walkthrough export, FBX export, and previews (material appearance, RPC appearance, light color temperature, and decal).”
Results and Compare – This window is now equipped with new tools for analysis. It also offers an understanding of the current energy cost of building modeling and more.
Potential Energy Savings Chart – This had been removed from the Energy Analysis Results. Now, you’re able to use the Energy Cost Range dashboard. This will offer similar information that’s better for interactive purposes.
Remove Repeater Groups – Repeated adaptive components can be removed now, within your conceptual design.
Also according to autodesk.com, “When creating rooms in the host model, you can use many IFC-based elements to define room boundaries. To improve annotation and scheduling of architectural floors, the following fields are now available: Elevation at Top and Elevation at Bottom. Use the Place Rooms Automatically tool to quickly place rooms in all closed and bounded areas on the current level.”
Removed Energy Analysis Tools
There are several tools that have been replaced for 2016. In addition to the ones we listed above, you can look for these to be removed as well.
- Conceptual Mass Mode
- Use Building Element Mode
New Energy Analysis Enhancements
For every replaced application, you’ll find a new and improved one to take its place. In addition to the previous enhancements, you’ll find these new tools and modes.
- Analysis Mode
- Energy Settings
- Use Conceptual Masses
