Revit Block/Style Parent in Max

[Cyberstyle]

Can anyone shed some light in dealing with the Revit Block/Style Parent in 3DS Max?.

I am finding them to be a pain the ..... to work with when they double up eveything in my layers.

 

The company I work for has just started using Revit and the models I have been provided with so far have a block/style parent for 'every single object'.

 

Can they be colapsed, deleted or removed on import? Do I really need them?

How do they affect the translation, placeholder and render times in MR.?

 

So far I have been dumping them all in a seperate layer on their own to get rid of them.

What is the best way to deal with these things?

 

Thanks.
