An example of RPC people on and around a building
The key benefit to using RPC content is that it only takes a short amount of time to fill a scene with realistic
content, and it adds very little to the rendering time.
NOTE While navigating through the scene, RPCs will always turn to face the camera. If an RPC is 3D or 3.5D,
right-clicking it in the Scene View, and clicking Refresh on the shortcut menu will set it to the correct frame, based on
the current camera position. Rendering the scene will always refresh all RPCs.
IMPORTANT When publishing a scene using the Publisher dialog box, any RPCs included in that scene are not published
to the _Presenter_Maps directory nor embedded in the NWD file. The size of the files, and the fact that most RPCs are
licensed, currently prohibits this.
Like the
Materials, Lighting, and Rendering tabs, the RPC tab is divided into two panes, with the archives on
the left and the palette on the right. This tab is where you set up RPCs.
To add an RPC to a palette
1 Open the Presenter window, and click the RPC tab.
2 In the left pane, expand the Templates archive, and drag the RPC icon into the palette on the right.
3 Double-click the RPC icon in the palette.
4 In the RPC Editor, click the Browse button (...) in the File Name field.
