Doors & Trees

Hi,

We use VR Prospect / Iris with Revit for residential work and its absolutely wonderful. Just 2 questions 

1  How can you make doors stay open or just not be there? We find with internal doors you can't teleport through them. You have to "head butt" them, standing really close, to enter the next room.

2  Trees. We have 3D trees outside our building and Propect renders them only in wire frame, presumably to save on render time. Is it possible to see them in realistic mode?

  Hi Simon, thanks for the feedback!

  • A trick we like to suggest for doors- we automatically recognize any doors in the door family in Revit and group them in a Layer in Prospect. If you want to turn doors off for easier navigation, you can simply use the toolbar to toggle off the layer that contains them.
  • Regarding the trees present in your model, if these are RPC assets - we currently don't import the "realistic" styles from these assets, but it is a frequent request and is on our future roadmap. The best workaround I can suggest in the short term is to import custom 3D assets into Revit in place of the RPCs. It's worth noting that these assets do have the potential to significantly slow down Revit, therefore we don't recommend using them in excess, but this will work if needed.

  What custom 3d assets work best for trees and cars in Iris?
