well ive been away from revit for awhile and starting toget back to it. i have recently got a  model railroad cad program to aid in degining a model railroad layout (for me its O-Scale Lionel). and the program is called 3rd Plan It, by eldrerdo software. anyway ive been trying to export the files which are orginally .3pi as a dwg for import into revit and i was wondering how would i enable textures for it for rendering purpoes since in revit when i render it, it comes out gray. i have supplied both the native .3pi file format and the .dwg format. 3rd Plan it also has support for 3ds models.

a link to the 3pi web site is here where you can downlaod a trial version for free.

Each unique material in the dwg needs to be on it's own layer.  After importing, that layer name will then show up as a material name where you can assign a color/texture to.
