BIM Software Tips: How to Improve REVIT Rendering Efficiency
Open the Section Box of the View to be Rendered
The section box helps limit the amount of ray tracing or ray calculation within the model. Accurender ignores components outside the section box, which is especially useful for rendering interiors of large projects like office buildings where you want to exclude unnecessary elements.
Use Area Ray Tracing Instead of Full Ray Tracing
Area ray tracing calculates only specified regions rather than the entire view, improving efficiency. Additionally, control the ray tracing quality with the five available options ranging from rough to optimal. Lowering reflectivity, especially compared to transparent reflectivity, can also speed up rendering.
Avoid Using Softened Shadows and Blurred Effects
Do not use softened shadows, blurred reflections, or blurred transparency, as these settings increase rendering time. Also, avoid recalculated light transfer for lighting to maintain better performance.
Use Image Editing Tools for Post-Processing
Adjusting rendered images with tools that modify contrast and brightness can often produce satisfactory results. This approach saves time compared to repeatedly tweaking rendering settings and re-rendering.
Optimize Lighting and Geometry
Turn off unnecessary light sources during indoor rendering and hide any invisible geometry to streamline the process.
Close Other Software and Restart for Better Performance
When performing ray tracing, close other running applications to free up system resources. Restarting your computer and clearing memory before using Revit for ray tracing can further enhance rendering efficiency.
