Visualizing with ChatGPT

Use ChatGPT’s image rendering features to create photorealistic or stylized renderings of your Revit views.

Workflow

  • Capture a screenshot or export an image from a Revit 3D or camera view using File > Export > Images and Animations > Image.
  • Open ChatGPT at https://chatgpt.com
  • Paste your Revit image into the conversation.
  • Enter prompts to instruct the bot on how to render your image.
  • Iterate to continue adding features and refining the resulting image.
  • Copy the rendered image and paste it onto your Forma Board.

Tips for Writing Better Prompts

  • You can provide an example image that you’d like to emulate and ask Chat GPT to write a detailed prompt for you describing the style of specific aspects of that image.
