I'm using this armchair in my renders, however it appears grey?
The material parameters are blank and no appearance assigned to the model, you could try add material to the model appearance and it should show different colour when rendering. Thanks for letting us know the issue and we will pass it to the manufacturer. 5 More Answers
Most of our ArchiCAD object have got password protected to avoid the error when user try to directly open the object file. You can load object into the project library and use it in the project normally without open it, and you change settings through the object interface settings as well. Hope this could help.

How practical are NanaWall's frameless opening systems for residential houses? I love the look of them, but worry a little about heat loss...
NanaWall's doors and windows will meet current Title24 Standards for California and surrounding areas. Time should always be spent to verify the heat-gain/loss with a proper Title24 consultant or specialist. One of the biggest concerns we've heard from clients is that with modern-homes, or homes with smaller eave overhangs, there is a potenti...

Is there a way to link your updated Revit family models with my local Revit library on my PC.
Currently Autodesk Revit does have any native way to pull in updated Revit families. There a few third party plugins, but I haven't come across any that work really well. Most of our users find the direct downloads to Dropbox or Box.com work well as a simple way of keeping their company wide libraries up to date.
A bit tricky but I need to build a railway bridge in Autodesk Revit. Has anyone done this before or know of an easy way or pre-made Revit family?
The question is impossible to answer without knowing more about the design of the bridge. There is almost no such thing as a pre-made bridge (except maybe in the military.) Every bridge is unique. Revit can model almost anything you want from it. I have been using Revit since 2003 and have never found anything it can't do if you put your mind... 14 More Answers

I'm starting to hear a lot of noise from our users about Graphisoft's tablet based BIMx tool?How many people are actively using it and do you find it useful?
I have recently started to involve some my clients with BIMx. And, they love it. At this stage I am using it in the concept stages of the design. When I get the confidence, I'll eventually use it for the final drawings too.
What I mean is: Is there a certain point in design where for buildings over a certain height the construction cost, start to accelerate ever faster?I've heard anything over 30 floors high, starts to get expensive. Due to construction costs and design that's needed.
A huge factor will be where the project is being constructed. The local market for labor and materials is going to have just as much impact on this, and it will totally vary based on where the project is being constructed. 2 More Answers
I'm designing a new residential project in california, and want to have a green roof on top of it.I'm having trouble finding information and feedback, on which product(s) are best and won't leak over time (obviously me and my client's biggest fair).
There are a variety of green roofing products available with varied prices, ranging from reclaimed wood shingles to plastic ones so the best products would depend on the design and location of the house. Try GAF http://www.gaf.com/Roofing/Residential/Products/Shingles/Timberline if it suits your need and budget.
It's set to be the tallest building in the city? What do people think of it's design?A little info:Salesforce Tower, formerly known as the Transbay Tower, is a 1,070 ft office skyscraper under construction in the South of Market district of downtown San Francisco.
I like it - at least from what I've seen in the renders.. Coupled with the new train terminal which is also under contraction, that pic elf the San Francisco financial district will be looking very sharp.
Is there a rulestt to view all the components that do not coline with an other component ?

I'm sure I've seen this done before in Solibri, I'll try and dig out the tutorial for you.
It would be great to have this in Revit format.
Hi robert-clark, not all manufacturer products on Modlar have all BIM formats. We will pass this onto the Manufacturer as feedback and they might look at getting Revit versions for their products.
Sorry, we don't have Toto wall hung toilet available at this stage. Please feel free to send us the request and we will pass it to the manufacturer for you. Thanks.
This product does not have BIM files available, please feel free to send us the request and we will pass it onto the manufacturer for you. Thanks.
That would be of great use - not just look good.
Hi, I'm sure there is! Are you talking about Autodesk Revit 2012 ?
