Hi John,

after filling out the form, it should redirect you to/download a .pdf file.

You will need to have the Acrobat Reader installed to view it.

If it still doesn't work for you after that, please email support (at) indigorenderer (dot) com and we will send you the instructions contained in the pdf file.

Hi
thanks for ur answer.
it finally worked out after further and many attempts.
so i installled the demo and tested it with some of my ongoing projects
two main questions then merged out :
- RPC objects compatibility (plabnts and characters)
- is there a restriction in demo mode concerning translation of materials that comes from revit ?
because some are fully interpreted without any change but some appeared as blank ...
plz help coz' apart from these minor problems i am fully interested in buying this autonomous endering solution form revit projects.
thanks
best
john

Indigo for Revit currently doesn't fully support RPC objects. The material converstion is unfortunately not a restriction of the demo. Currently, getting material properties apart from a basic colour (like textures, etc), does not seem to be possible with the Revit API.
For a few material types (metals and glass, mostly) we have code to convert them to an Indigo representation. The other, unconverted, materials would need to modified by hand to get nice results, for now.

We are looking into these issues and are hoping to resolve them as soon as possible.

Kind regards,
Yves
