Title: Don't understand how to make selections
Post by: just8thedog on 2023-12-10, 19:11:49

I created a parapet flashing cap in Revit before exporting FBX and importing into 3DS Max and when I select the parapet cap in max to apply materials, the materials aren't showing up in the interactive render. I've tried several different materials and nothing changes in the view, or render. Not sure why, when I select it in max, it's called default wall? But I'm looking for something more identifiable in objects to select and there are no other options. How do I apply  materials to this object?
Thank You

What if you create some random object in 3ds Max (like a box) or try to rebuild the problematic object from scratch in 3ds Max? Are you able to render it and assign materials to it?

I guess we would need someone familiar specifically with exporting geometry from Revit to 3ds Max. Meanwhile, could you attach some screenshots showing what exactly is happening and what results you are getting? (in 3ds Max + Corona)

Nothing really to post as far as screen shots. I select the object, assign material, (several attempts), and nothing happens.
