In the fourth step, we will load any the necessary Revit elements as shading objects.
Typical workflow
Follow these steps to add shading geometry from your current Revit selection:
Select in Revit: Highlight the elements in your Revit model that you want to use as shades.
Load Selection: Click "Add Shades from Revit" to import your current selection into this menu.
Review & Filter: Right-click any item to Review or Select it in Revit. Uncheck the "Export" box to exclude specific items from the final model.
3D Preview: Click Preview to inspect the geometry.
Finalize: Click Add Shades to Model to complete the process.
Pro Tip
If your selection includes curved or non-planar geometry, ensure "Ignore Non-Planar Faces" is unchecked in the settings. You can also adjust the "Mesh Detail" value to control the accuracy of the resulting mesh.
