As you know, we recently updated our Revit software to the 2024 version (see our Twin Motion and Twin Motion versus Enscape posts) and one of the new features is Toposolids. What is a toposolid? Well, it’s a topo surface that is solid of course! Ha! Creating & Modifying the Toposolid Surface Creating & modifying…

Real versus Relative
We’ve had a few projects recently, that have required us to edit basic information in our Revit models, specifically levels and topography (or now that we are in Revit 2024, Toposolids). This can seem like such a simple task. I mean, we set our levels and all we need to do is update our base…
Twin Motion VS Enscape
In our last week’s post we took look at what Twin Motion was all about and played around in it to see what it could do. This week we are throwing Twin Motion in the deep end and seeing how it compares to our awesome-sauce Enscape. Check out below to see the results! GRAPHICS Here…
Hayne Tries: Twin Motion for REVIT
Hello! If you have downloaded the newest Revit then you are probably aware that it now comes preinstalled with Twin Motion. And if you didn’t know.. then now you do! Twin Motion is a real time rendering program similar to our sweet Enscape. So of course, like the curious little she-devils we are, we had…
AI & Architecture: Photoshop Beta
Here@HAYNE we like to keep current! The hot new topic is AI and how it can be used in architecture and more importantly, how it can be used for architects. There are so many different forms and ways AI is being used to generate content, so for this post we are going to use Photoshop…
The Hayne Way: From PDF Spec Sheet to REVIT 3D Component
Every now and then, ok, more often than not, we are asked to place the chosen plumbing fixture (furniture piece, light fixture, specialty equipment item, etc.) into our REVIT model and are only working with a manufacturer’s specification sheet with 2-dimensional drawings. I know it’s hard to believe, but not every manufacturer has 3D components……
Enscape Assets: Load up the Bar!
Hello Friends! As I am sure you know, we like Enscape. We like to use it as design tool in “white mode” to see the rooms spatially before materials and finish decisions are made like we did here. After materials are put in, we really like using the Asset Library to make the view or…
the Hayne Way: Pop it in…
Boss man: “Can you just pop this in the model?” the Girls: “Ummm… sure… Just give us a little bit of time…” (Thinking to themselves that we need to review the concept of Revit Families again…) [Hmmm… there are only overall dimensions and general materials called out… Ok, let’s break it down and see what…
Software Spotlight: Revit Render vs Enscape
Welcome back! As we continue to work in (and love) Enscape, we thought it would be interesting to compare render views from Enscape and Revit. Before using Enscape we would buy credits and send views from Revit to render in the cloud so we could continue to work as it rendered. This was helpful to…
Here@HAYNE we try new things: Enscape!
Welcome back! Here@HAYNE we are always open to exploring new ways to work and showcase our designs. We recently came across Enscape, which is a live rendering program, and thought we would give it a shot! So far I am an Enscape fan! It has some really great features that I think will help show…
