Hi again
Thanx guys for your advice and thoughts,
The last time the project was cancelled,
I now have a friend architect with Revit to try things.
I want to get it working for next time,
and I want to be able to direct or give tools to my Revit client
so he can export from Revit to Octane (Archicad plugin).
Thanx Jaba,
I will sure try this with my Revit partner and get back to tell if that worked.

Not a Archicad user but if you can import dwg into archicad, then export from revit a 3dmodel and pull it in to Archicad.
Hope it helps.
Thanx, JNDesign,
I tried that before with previous client and I think it must be a good way.
I was able to open the dwg file in Archicad and in my Octane plugin I was able to add materials. It did not work correctly though, because different supposed to be materials were just one material that I could not split; i.e. Glass and wood of door was just one material object. My guess is that the client did not setup the model correct for export, but I cannot check. I can ask my new Revit friend to test this as well.

Hi Paul,
Using octane Render for Revit would be an option, but would the Revit user (my client) then not need to have a Octane standalone licence and the plugin?
They won't spend money just needing to export a file for me.
I would like buy an exporter Revit to Octane that I can let my client use under my licence, but such thing is not possible?
Or do you mean something else Paul?
The Inglegreen exporter seems the best solution for me.

Hi Perro,
I know a client can deliver the DAE, and I do have cinema4d.
So I could copy your workflow.
How do you export form C4D to stand alone?
Did you use exporter and just one click, or did you need to do adjustments and difficult settings? (I am C4D beginner, so it must not be to difficult)
(I will search on the forum for c4d exporter.)
I'll be back....
Cheers
