How to use DECAL in Revit

 First of all I would like to say one thing that, like you are confused today......I was also confused the other day. But I had learnt how to use decal, then also I was confused about using it. So I had learnt the trick again and today I am going to explain you about that. You can see the image that I had used as Decal on the wall.


First of all after creating walls, columns, window, door, ventilator and other required 3D items in Revit, now it's time to bring the 2D plan to 3D object. After bringing into 3D object give colour or texture whatever you want. Then you want to place at wall something which looks colourful. So go to the insert tab and you will see that Decal command is available in there. Click on Decal command and you will see two options are available. 


Click on the Decal Types, and you will see that a dialog box appears on the screen. On the right hand side of settings you will find many options such as source, brightness, reflectivity and so on. Click on the source, Oh wait actually not on the source but on the three dots you see. After clicking those three dots you see that a new dialog box appears in front of it. That is the dialog box of your images or files you saved in. Click the required image that you want to give on your wall or surface and then click on Open. The required image will show in the box. After that click on OK. 



You will see that the required image appears on the screen. But you will see as a box type to place it. By clicking on the object you want to place it you will that it will appear on it, but it should be at some surface only whether it is wall, column, tank etc. whatever be. You will get the fully clarified image after you render it. But that I will explain later. 

So if you have understood something just give a like and place a comment in the comment section box. You will get to know everything about Revit you want.
