How would you go about creating a metal panel facade with a gradient perforated pattern? For example, if I wanted to have a perforated panel pattern that had a circle pattern that was more transparent at the bottom and became solid at the top.
Thanks!
Hi Matt-
In your materials browser, select the material that you want to add the perforated gradient to. Under the ‘appearance’ tab, check ‘cutouts’
This works just like masks in photoshop if you are familiar (black areas are blocked, white areas pass though).
To get a cutout pattern that looks as you describe, you can try to find a “halftone gradient” that works well with the proportions you are dealing with via a quick google image search. If you are feeling adventurous, you can create your own in photoshop by creating a gradient and then applying a halftone pixilation filter (how-to here: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/photography/discover/halftone-effects.html)
Once you have your cutout map loaded to revit, adjust the scaling to create the desired affect.
Hope this helps-
