Green Screen Free Standing Fence System

Freestanding Fence trellis system basics

1. Load family into project
2. Family will load into Specialty Equipment Category
4. This family can be placed freely on the project 
5. Once placed you can move element horizontally to a precise location if required
6. Adjusting Fence Length
	a. Select fence
	b. Drag arrows to desired length
	c. Trellis panels are constrained to a 4' dimension
		*To fill any remaining space use the freestanding family
		**Fill dimension is calculated as an instance parameter, End Piece Length Needed
7. Adjustable Instance parameters
	a. Finish
	b. Vines (preset vines for rendering application)
8. Adjustable Type Parameters
	a. Round Pole (changes square pole to round pole)
	b. Pole Height (allows trellis to cantilever over poles at a max of 25% of panel height)
	c. Panel Height (Max 12' with 2" increments)
	d. Embed Height (adjusts how far the pole embeds into the ground)

Using render materials for trellis panel and vines

1. Create a folder for Green Screen Materials
	a. Locate: C:\Program Files\Revit Architecture 2009\Data\Rendering\assetlibrary_base.fbm\Materials\
	b. Create a folder under Materials called "Green Screen"
2. Un-zip material file into C:\Program Files\Revit Architecture 2009\Data\Rendering\assetlibrary_base.fbm\Materials\Green Screen
	*material images are pre-mapped to this location
3. Load Family into Revit
4. Open Materials
5. Select Rendering
6. Select a Green Screen Trellis material or plant material
	- The jpg image under Image File should have a swatch in it.
If you see a swatch than process was successful.
If you do not see a swatch, follow the steps below
	a. Click browse button next to Image file location space
	b. Locate desired image file on you hard drive
	c. Select file and click open

Using Trim profiles with Trellis panels

1. Load profile into project
2. In Revit 2009 under modeling tab choose create
   In Revit 2010 choose model in place under Component
3. Choose Special Equipment category
4. Name family
5. Draw a Reference plane on back side of the trellis panel in plan view
6. Lock reference plane to trellis
7. Open instance properties for reference plane and name reference plane, Select ok
8. Change to appropriate elevation view
9. Choose Solid - Sweep from the modeling tool bar
10. Select sketch path from the tool bar
11. Choose reference plan created in steps 5-7, select ok
12. Sketch path for trim to follow, lock to trellis panel if desired
13. Finish path
14. Select profile from that was loaded into project at step 1
15. Change to perpendicular view of profile (if sketched in North/South elevation, change to East/West elevation)
16. You can now modify the X-axis, Y-axis, and angle of trim to fit the trellis panel if needed
17. Select sweep properties; select a Green Screen color from the material list to render correctly
18. Select ok to exit sweep properties
19. Select finish sweep
20. Select finish model to return to the project
