RPC Cars

[craighowie]

Hi there.

Does anyone have any good quality RPC cars that they have to share?

I have had a look on the Archvision website, but to my knowledge you have to pay for all of those!

Thanks,
Craig

Unless you´re happy with the yellow Beetle, which is provided with Revit for free by Archvision, you´ll have to spend the money for the Archivision RPC content.... or create it on your own....

Thank you Munkholm for your response!

Must say that I am extremely disappointed to hear that…

I few years ago, I found a program called Revit on www.autodesk.com and was also disapointed to find that I had to pay... but eventually I got over it

Just beeing sarcastic.... forgive me

sketchup models import very easily and there are loads of good ones (cars included), but you may have to try a lot out to find suitable ones. most sketchup models only render as completely white, even though they may look ok in (eg.) shaded view. render materials are controlled through visibilty layers but the process is tedious and frustrating.
Often the better looking models are conversions from high end modelling programs like 3dsmax or maya, but they tend to have very messy topography and a high polygon count from being pushed through too many nasty conversion processes.
You can even partially explode a lot of sketchup models and build your own revit-native geometry over the top if you get that keen.

All free, just remember you always get what you pay for

Unfortunatly the RPC cars are pretty expensive. But even if someone was willing to share the licensing tool will not allow that.

If you are doing rendering important enough to need the cares paying for them should not be an issue.

Yes, and are even more expensive with an exchange rate of 8 South African Rands to 1 US Dollar.

Well thank you everyone for the comments.

RPC are a bit expensive if you only need plain architectural drawings. For most our drawings we use 2D revit families. There are a few free and not so expensive families out there. We have a few from archigrafix.com. Unlike using cad blocks, they have native Revit support for complexity and avoid manual masking on all views and manual updates when the levels change. Cad blocks is not the way to go on revit...

I agree with that. I stick to what it works, and 3d cars are from my experience for visualizations. Otherwise it's too many dense dark lines on plans and elevation drawings.
