    Default Revit 2009 - Mental Ray Glass Appearance

    On the release announcements, I was very excited to hear that mental ray would be part of Revit 2009.

    That said, I am having a TON of trouble, getting the curtain wall glass to look like glass.

    Anyone have any advice?

    Any examples? An image perhaps?
    There are several mats you can use, most of them look very nice

    I have noticed that some of my materials did not transfer directlyduring the upgrade process, expecially if they were custom materials. You may need to redefine and re-assign the glass material to your curtainwall panel.

    C:\Program Files\Revit Architecture 2009\Program\materialmapping.txt
    Does the auto remapping.

    You can also Transfer Project Standards for materials.
