insert light point into imported objects

[bertone86]

Hello excuses are brand new in this forum, I read that several of you quickly learn to use revit through your advice. I would like to ask you my problem: I made a 3d in autocad, now I would like to make with revit. Some friends told me that to get a good render I have to make solids with layers on autocad and then connect cad, set the scale and associate the materials on each layer. Here we go. The problem is another one, I'm redeveloping a square and I've made 3d lamps on autocad. I ask you, can I create a light point that allows me to illuminate the square at night through these lamps? if I can do it?
Thank you in advance.

creates a new family with the imported object (new > household (lighting device) > insert - import cad ....
charge the family bulb and nest it in the created family

as I'm a little ignorant about it if you could kindly explain to me phase by stage since I'm at first. Thank you in advance :smile:

I'm sorry, but I think you've already explained "step by step":

charge the family bulb and nest it in the created family Or do you need a social worker?
especially to you students, since you have mountains of free time, study! gianfranco will answer for what concerns him, but to me personally a "student" that comes to me to ask: "How do you step by step?" I reply: "There are tons of books, videos and documents that treat revit. study! If you don't understand anything you can come here and ask for help."
Then, if you allow me, I give you another advice: Forget what your friends tell you, or your cousin (Some friends told me that to get a good render I have to make solids with layers on autocad and then connect cad, set the scale and associate the materials on each layer.). Most of the time you give advice without even knowing what you are talking about. especially when someone advises you to pass a 3d model (made in autocad) on revit for rendering. Forget it. . .

ok, but it is not necessary to answer this way, I read that there have been much more trivial questions than I did and it does not seem to have responded the same way as you answered me. I am frankly based on this treatment I did not expect it.

 

[Tristan]

That's why I answered you like that. admit to being ignorant (in the sense that you ignore how the software works) and I suggested you study before asking similar questions. I don't think I said anything that could leave base.
Anyway, if you want my own opinion, I'm telling you you're wrong. if you have modeled everything in autocad and you only have to perform some renderings or do it directly in acad or (if you are capable) you pass it on 3ds. revit is a design software, not rendering!

 

[bertone86]

I have already rendered in autocad, it is not bad; the problem is that I can't apply blessed light stitches that don't allow me to make a render at night to give the idea of how lighting would be. If you can enlighten me, I'll be grateful.

... if the discussion continues on autocad rendering and/or 3ds (or other software), I invite you to open discussions in the specific forum sections... .

disable sunlight (before all), then position a reflector for each lamp, more or less up to the lamp and obviously look down
