  • added support for Revit 2014
  • textures assigned to native Revit materials are recognized in 2014, including the placement options such as tiling, rotation etc.
  • added object render flags (hide to camera, hide to GI etc.)
  • when the currently selected view is unavailable, the plug-in renders the first camera view it finds

Version 2.7.16 - April 25th, 2013

Changes

  • added an about dialog to make it easier to determine the version of the plug-in

  • faster export in scenes with many lights

Fixes

  • wrong position for the emitter meshes generated by the plug-in
  • incorrect export of split faces
  • scenes with grass created by an older version of the plug-in would crash in newer versions
