Archvision just released a beta to create custom RPC out of existing 3D assets and I've been experimenting (insert mad scientist laugh here).
So far it's working well in Revit and Enscape. The tricky part, if there is one, is creating the icon for the RPC without a great deal of tessellation, but that's besides the point here.
I was thinking about how objects have different material options and how this might be managed. Instead of creating totally new RPC for each variation, I thought I might try creating one for each material choice and nesting them together in a family with family type parameters to switch them in an out.
Works great in Revit. Not so much in Enscape. Seems you have to have each piece shared as well as nested. Boo. Maybe the guys at Enscape can do something about this... hint-hint.
I also had some weird rendering artifcats but now I'm thinking it was a result of the creation process (I tried to cut some corners).
