Office Clutter
When you render an interior view, you may want to add furnishings and fixtures to lend realism to the
scene. ArchVision refers to this type of entourage as office clutter. Revit Architecture provides office chairs,
picture frames, and a notebook computer. You can purchase more office clutter from ArchVision.
When you place office clutter in a view, you can modify its properties. For office chairs, you can specify
their materials and colors, whether they are tilted and turned, and other characteristics. For a picture frame,
you can specify its orientation (landscape or portrait), whether it stands on a desk or hangs on a wall, and
an image to display in the frame. For a notebook computer, you can specify whether it is opened or closed,
powered on or off, or displays an image on the screen. See
Office Clutter Properties on page 1147.
Creating an RPC Family
Use the Family Editor to create a Revit family for entourage, including people, cars, plants, and office clutter.
In an RPC family, you can specify an ArchVision RPC file to use for the render appearance.
NOTE To create a Revit family for entourage that will use a source other than an RPC file for the render appearance,
see Creating an Entourage Family on page 1148.

By default, a placeholder for a person displays in the drawing area. (You can see it more clearly
in an elevation view.) However, you can change this entourage family to be any type of object,
such as a tree, chair, or car. When you select a render appearance for the entourage, the drawing
area displays an appropriate placeholder for it.
3 Create family types, and specify their parameters.
