Post-processing your Revit drawings is a fun process, but we often need to make changes to our drawings along the way, or we need to create high quality drawings on a tight timeframe. Moving between multiple programs is an expensive hassle, especially if we need to also show off multiple variations of designs. Instead, let’s see how to skip the hassle completely and utilize detail items to bring our drawings to life!
A common way people post-process from Revit is to export their drawings into Photoshop or Illustrator for their post processing workflow. But most of the time, the most important post-processing that we need to do for plans, masterplans, elevations and sections could all be done within Revit!
Here is a regular Revit floor plan, and next to it, is one “post-processed” within Revit with just detail items and some stylistic choices. The time it took to do this post-processing was about 5 minutes, and we needed only Revit and a few Archibite detail items to achieve this.
Let’s look at another example of an elevation drawing. Obviously materials play into this a lot, but by utilizing simply built in tools and some Archibite detail items, we can achieve a post-processed look.
As we can see from these examples, we can get high quality, “post-processed” drawings full of life by simply utilizing detail items and some creative representations. Head on over to our shops Revit section to check out our selection of detail items to bring your drawings to life!
