3ds Max: Revit Integration

Discover how to efficiently take a model from Autodesk Revit into Autodesk 3ds Max. In this course, Adam Crespi goes beyond basic exporting and importing to show a streamlined workflow that optimizes Revit models for flexibility in rendering and design with 3ds Max. As part of this workflow, Adam covers optimizing a Revit model for export, breaking up large meshes, and best practices for export. In 3ds Max, he discusses importing a Revit model, applying smoothing groups, adjusting UV coordinates, integrating substances, fine-tuning materials, and creating test renderings.

Topics include:

• Optimizing Revit files for export
• Breaking up large meshes
• Exporting the Revit model
• Importing the Revit scene
• Adding details to coarse meshes
• Selecting and replacing materials
• Adjusting UV mapping
• Changing light types
• Adjusting lighting and exposure
