Tip: change your phase to Existing so you dont have the addition hiding half of the geometry. Align your view. Then change phase back to New Construction.
Easier way if you're familiar with the following concepts- STEP 1. Draw a long ass wall and put it roughly 10-20 metres behind your house. STEP 2. Add a Decal to this wall and stretch the Decal so it covers the entire wall. STEP 3. Link the decal with the image you want to use. STEP 4. Make a camera view and change this view to "Realistic" (Making it realistic gets the Decal to show up without needing to render). STEP 5. Accurately align your image by moving the wall around and the decal up and down till you get it looking right. ADDITIONAL NOTES: Having the image as a movable object in the view allows you to accurately scale the image using any two points in the image that you already have the dimensions of i.e length of overall house, eave width, window height, etc). With a little practice this process can get you the image you're after in 5 minutes and without photoshop. Just delete the wall and decal when you're finished or if you need it for later, just hide it in all the views except for one so you can still move/modify it later.
I know you're using the EVO16-S, but could you share some tips on what I should look for in a laptop to buy and run Revit, Lumion, and Photoshop effectively?
I am not using the EVO anymore... I am using a BIMBOX (mech 16) laptop now and a BIMBOX desktop. You want to max out whatever you can afford for all of these tools ... Here are some great episodes of my livestream with guests who know A LOT about hardware and the software we use: ruclips.net/user/live-b8-Ka1qLos?si=Z5ri_CTfvbeS57Kq ruclips.net/user/liven7CRq_CSqJY?si=fljN9_6_0NtPtTcx and here is my current setup: ruclips.net/video/OMXzyrvysuM/видео.htmlsi=yxWiHrmko3ndwiOB

This is brilliant! I have been wanted to know how to match site photo withy models for so long.
Best regards!!
Glad it was helpful!

Evan Manttari thanks for the comment!! Interesting approach I have never heard of before ! Not sure if it is “easier” though... ;)
didnt occur to me to use the sheet to overlap the photo and the 3D view! mind blown. Thank you for the tip.
Cheers! Always different ways to skin a cat in Revit!

Nice tut. 👍🏻
Genius!
could you make a tutorial same thing with navisworks
No..? haha... Navisworks is NOT a visualization tool and I would never make a tutorial showing it as such lol
@@TheRevitKid I just wondering how can I include a png image inside it, alongside with the BIM to align it.
Is there a way to do that ?
@@abd_el_ouahab3824 No, not in Navis.
