nXt 4 Revit
Having undertaken a schooling in Revit today, I feel strongly tempted to switch to it.
In my country, there is massive support to do so: I already own couple of Revit licenses because of upgrading my ACA ones.
My only concern is the following: Is the nXt implementation to Revit as strong as the AutoCAD one? If not, is it going to improve? When?

Nope-- and no plans at the moment beyond the current project-- at least until Autodesk improves their plugin interface. It is pretty easy to bring a view into AutoCAD for rendering.

For those of used to assign materials by layer would the faces issues not be a problem? Because then you have to now start assigning materials by objects, to me is a lot of work.

There are materials in Revit-- I can't quite remember how Revit breaks them down when converting to AutoCAD. There may be problems with this approach.

What will be the best approach as am thinking of taking on revit soon myself.
How far with the standalone version of Nxt, which I believe would solve alot of cross platform problems. Reason I could not go the way of V-Ray the trouble of having to shift to a whole new interface, since it comes as a pluggin and not a standalone.

No clue-- you'll need to tell me.

Thanks for the info. We think of starting some kind of "test use" of Revit in till the end of the year - during this periond we might stick on rendering Revit models from within AutoCAD... Full transition of the office from ACA to Revit is not likely to happen until this time next year.
What would you be your guess? Would nXt-Revit offer all thje niceties of nXt-AutoCAD?

Not likely. Like I said, it really depends on Autodesk, not us.

I recall that in early versions of Revit, before it was acquired by Autodesk, the rendering section was powered by Accurender.

Yep.

CAN WE GET PETER MILNER TO TRAIN SOME OF US FOR A TOKEN ?
Good day, forum members,I was thinking that we could each, if interested, contribute a significant token to give Peter Milner and David to train us virtually in nxt render for Autocad. Am not sure he still uses it but the experience he has spanning over 20 years cannot be underestimated. I wish the forum co-ordinators could look into this. So that more of us will produce realistic renders with the paid version of nxt render and we will be able to encourage other users of other more advanced…See More
