Bring Your Elevations to Life in Revit 2017!

It’s that time again, Revit 2017 has been released with a lot of powerful new features and functions. And I am happy to announce there is now a solution to one of the most common grumbles that I have heard over the years: “My elevations just don’t pop!”

With the new Depth Cueing tool inside of Revit 2017 you will have more say over what your sections and elevations look like, and control over how elements that are farther away display in section and elevation view.



Here is a short video demonstrating how to use Depth Cueing to really bring your elevations to life.

Thank you for reading. For more information on Revit and other Autodesk products, and information on training and consulting for the various products Ideate services, visit our website.
