materials names from revit using fbx

[Cesar]

Hello To everyone

Someone knows if is possible to keep revit material names using the file link manager and the fbx format?

let me explain it. In revit 2011 i had a material with an specific name, for example “concrete column” and its render appearance is based in the autodesk library “Flat - Gray 1” when i transfer the file to 3ds max, using the file link manager, that material transfer with the name “Flat - Grey 1” and i would like to transfer that material with his original name “concrete column”, funny because the previous versions of revit or max, the materials transfer with they respective names.

this is really annoying, because in our office, have several materials, but all are based in the same render appearance, so transfer like the were the same.

the latest hotfix addresses some issues with FBX materials and their textures, not sure if it will fix what your are after though

Try installing the latest FBX installers too

Hi Cesar! can you strip down the revit model in a way that its file size gets small and provide us a download link to get the model? We will have a look at it.

 

Ideally, zip up the revit model as well as the fbx file that creates trouble for you. Thanks!
