I want to use Revit to design, plan, and export to 3ds max. I was searching TH-cam channels to show me how. Finally, I got this channel. you got one additional subscriber.
Thanks for creating this set of tutorials. I have been searching for a revit to max workflow with corona for a while now. I will definitely share this link with all my colleagues. I look forward to more great content from you.
Amazing content! I was trying to apply this workflow and i was a little lost in the settings and pre organizations of the model revit. Thanks for sharing!
Of course, hopefully I helped you with the settings setup. I’m a big fan of trying to keep things simple and then layering in additional detail/complexity only as needed. Thanks!
Hi there, I really like the channel! Hopefully we get to see more and more of your video's between the two software's? Why would you say its better to LINK FBX over LINK Revit? I thought you would have more flexibility over your Revit file having it linked into max? Or is FBX always better? thanks for your time
Thanks, yes I have a bunch planned and am sure I’ll come up with more as feedback rolls in. Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see! One of the biggest reason I do the FBX link is that I’ve just been doing this for years and the “Revit Link” was practically unusable until some of the recent versions of Max. That said, I’ve tried it and the ability to link in just a specific 3d view makes it very similar to the “FBX link” but I’m not totally convinced yet for a couple reasons that just depend on your workflow. I often export the building and site separately as 2 FBX files which keeps the exported geometry pretty light. Repeatedly linking to a Revit model fully loaded with notes, furniture, structural and MEP stuff just takes longer. Also the geometry isn’t imported in the layer manager into separate layers like it is with the “FBX link” which, while nit-picky, can be useful. Though arguable the biggest issue is that it requires you to keep Max and Revit in the same version. When you have a dozen plugins that work for one version of Max, then you have to wait for all of those to be supported before you can upgrade Revit. The “FBX link” isn’t affected by Revit & Max versions so you can keep your program upgrades a bit more independent of each other. I think Autodesk is pushing the “Revit Link” going forward but I’m not convinced yet. Give it a shot though, it might work great for your needs!
hi, this is a great tutorial. i'm a revit user but i've always been nervous about 3dMax, these videos encoured me a lot, thanks for doing it. I have question, when i try to overrride materials; I open the materials box and right click then choose materials>Corona then in the corona materials list i don't have the CoronaMtl option, the rest of the list is there (PhysicalMtl, HairMtl, LayeredMtl, VolumeMtl etc) why this is happening?
The latest versions of Corona have renamed a few of these. the "CoronaLegacyMtl" is what CoronaMtl used to be. Give that a shot. "CoronaPhysicalMtl" should work as well. Hope that helps!
ERROR: quality of lessons and the subscribe don't match. Needs more subscribers. Great work not just saying what to do but also why you do is the best way to teach and you nailed it.
Thanks, appreciate it! Glad you appreciate the "why" of things. It really makes the difference between being able to develop your own workflows versus just copying what someone else says.
Great work man. Question, I couldn't find an override equivalent in vray to bring in all the textures as 1 color. Do you have a work around for it? Thanks.
Thanks for this useful set of tutorials! I used to work in rhino with Vray for rendering but then I switched to Revit and I was looking for a way to get nice renders out of my 3D models. The only thing I noticed is when I import the revit model as an fbx geometry in max all the curved, rounded and sweeps components are faceted. As an example, instead of being curved, an arch will show 16 or 20 segments, reminding me the awfull sketchup geometries... Is there any solution for this?
Hey, no problem! Yeah, 3ds Max will always triangulate curved geometry from Revit but you can control the import and make it look smoother. In your relink FBX options on reload (or in the presets modify tab), there is a slider under “Curved Objects Detail.” Try turning that up and seeing how it does. You can also try the “Auto-smooth adjacent faces” box which will sometimes help as well. Those are probably the first steps I’d go with. If you’re still not happy with it, you can start to add or try a “MeshSmooth” modifier to the curved geometry but that opens up a whole lot more options to fuss with, which may not be what you want to deal with yet. Let me know if those help!
Hi! Thanks for your quick reply. Curved objects detail slider is already to the top. I tried Auto-smooth adjacent faces and it worked. It is not perfect but it is way better than it was!
Hey, that for the content. Great work. I am having an issue I can't see the 3ds max model when using twinmotion to render. If a draw a shape in 3ds max it will show in twinmotion though, any fix ?
3dsMax to Twinmotion isn't my typical workflow so unfortunately I don't have any good solutions for you. Theoretically though, geometry exported from 3dsMax into Twinmotion should show up... hopefully someone else can weigh in and help you out.
I got around the problem, I had to apply a material overide using a default material in 3dsMax pour twinmotion to recognise the material. Great tutorial. Keep it up.
Hey Suvin! Thanks, I’ve got a few more planned that I’m just starting get to lined out. Stay tuned! There are a few difference between “link FBX and “link Revit” but they really still accomplish the same thing. Link FBX was the better method until the last couple versions of Max when they fixed a few bugs. I think Link Revit will be a good option for some people going forward as long as your Revit model is well organized. Max will ask to link to a specific 3d view set up in the actual Revit file which is the main difference. You should still get the same import options as Link FBX. I’m still partial to exporting a separate FBX file just to keep things a little separate, but ultimately both methods will accomplish the same thing. I’d say try both and see which one you like!
Great video series, very concise and informative. What is the benefit of linking the .fbx instead of the actual Revit file? I'm guessing it has something to do w/ exporting the landscape separately from the building model. Thanks for putting in the effort on these videos, keep it up!
Hey! Apologies on the late reply, missed this comment. It’s largely to help out if you’re working in an office with multiple people. One person could be designing the building in Revit while the other person is setting up the landscape, site work, context, etc. in Max. That way when you relink the building you don’t also relink all the site context and risk have some modeling blow ups. It’s not 100% necessary but can cut down some headaches occasionally.
I have issues with this method when I inport the file the dimensions in 3ds max changes i want accurate dimensions which I used in revit please help me with the solution
Cool, thanks. Very useful. What about the units? I assume you are using inches and feet in Revit. What about the max settings? Are setting up the specific units in max itself? Thanks!
THIS CHANNEL IS GOLD. EVERYONE SHOULD DO A GOLD RUSH TO WATCH THESE___
Haha thank you!!!
Dude, this is great stuff. You don't treat your viewers like idiots, and you seem like an honest guy. All the best.
Haha thanks, appreciate it. Trying my best!

omg, the best 3ds max crash course video I have ever scene, wow just wow.... you saved my life awesome
Dude, how can this video have just 32 likes? Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks man, appreciate it!
At last, I found a YT channel that motivates me for my architectural thesis. huhu,
Thanks a lot! I already followed Stoked on IG.
Great! I’d love to hear what you’ve come up with. Feel free to shoot email if you want to follow up on anything. Good luck on the thesis!
@@VanVoorhisArchitects wow! Thanks a lot! I really did not expect that you'll gonna notice me. haha

Great video first if all but I have a problem.
In the corona interactive render window the sky doesn't appear and I don't know why
Just a solid black background

Can you make an option to set up a template that is not with Corona?
How do i import the site as a seperate fbx file/model
when I render every thing is black despite I did like the tutorial.. any one knows why is that?
Thank's
Thnak you man !
Course!
can i get a link to all the free plugin plz .. 🌹
Course! www.stokeddesign.co/revitfamilies
Let me know if you have questions on anything. Thanks!
when i try to create my template I don't see corona material. is see corona select mtl
i assume you have a later version of the software, the corona mtl, has been renamed to CoronaLegacyMtl. they are the same thing
