Hi everyone,

I’m Terra from the D5 team. I wanted to share a recent workflow update that may be relevant to Revit users here.

D5 Lite for Revit is designed to bring real-time visualization directly into the Revit environment, so users can review a model’s materials, lighting, atmosphere, and spatial qualities without setting up a separate rendering workflow.

The main idea is to support visualization earlier in the BIM process, particularly for:

  • design development and internal reviews
  • quick material and lighting checks
  • communicating design intent with clients
  • users who need accessible visualization without a complex setup

For more advanced output, projects can also continue into D5 Render for higher-quality images, animation, VR, and interactive presentations.

I’m sharing this primarily to hear from Revit users: where does visualization currently fit into your workflow, and what would make this type of integration genuinely useful?

For anyone interested in trying it, D5 Lite for Revit is available as a free download from the D5 website. I'm happy to answer any questions here about the workflow or pass your feedback directly to our product team.

If you have the visibility linked to a logical (Yes/No) paramater, you can define it as a logical parameter. Example (you can extend the conditions using AND or OR):

Param1:
IF(Param2,1<0,1>0)
Param2:
IF(Param1,1<0,1>0)

But if you get circular reference, you can use integer parameter as a visibility control switch.

On our Titleblock we have a traffic light symbol and a note written across all drawings that shows the status of the drawing:

Preliminary
For Approval
For Construction

I've made a family that can switch between visibility states to turn on and off the text and colored lights depending on what boxes are ticked. 

however if a user forgets to untick a box or selects multiple boxes by mistake it can show more then one status at a time.

I'd like to simplify this so that its more like a drop down menu where only one status can be selected.

I'm no good with "IF" statements but I think it may be possible.
can you help me out how to go about this?

Thanks in advance..
Simon.

You can add mass (weight) using the workflow in the related tip:

I have a problem in Revit. I am trying to add the total mass of structural members to my structural schedules. The Weight parameter is there but it shows empty.]]> Sun, 12 Apr 2026 12:02:08 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=14774&PID=40286&title=structural-mass-in-revit-schedules#40286 <![CDATA[Revit : Ellipsoid in Revit]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=14701&PID=40083&title=ellipsoid-in-revit#40083 Author: julecave

I know how to model a sphere in Revit but how can I model an 3D ellipsoid?

The whole value of BIM collaborate pro is that you don’t have to screw around with all the uploads and downloads. I personally think it’s worth the money in time savings. But if those extra licenses are too much money, you can get away with just one license.
