Re: Revit 2015

I'd love a test link. Only thing keeping us from 100% switching to 2015 is this plugin!

Re: Lights set to not be visible aren't throwing light anymo

So a little more info: I did a 'fresh' install on another computer, and don't have this issue. Weird!

Possibly is it old Max plugin/DLLs files from older builds still being in the Max folder? I tried removing what I thought were the old files, as what you have to 'install' has changed over time ...

Lights set to not be visible aren't throwing light anymore..

Re: Exporting From REVIT Architecture

Probably not. DXF isn't as much as a standard as you think. The problem is that Textures are handled differently within DXF by different systems. For example, with Revit exports to DXF, things are grouped by the layer export standards (i.e. by object category) and not by material. Materials are in ...

Re: Exporting From REVIT Architecture

The only easy and sane path right now is to export your Revit models to FBX, and then import those models into MAX.

Once you're in MAX you can then export to whatever you want to.

FBX exporting in Revit is seriously broken and ONLY works with MAX. Even Autodesk's own converter won't work 100% of ...
