Hey everybody, I have a question about how I can add a material to a mass imported from rhino. I have been surfing around and I can't seem to find a answer ( I am a bit of a rookie though so I might have missed something obvious :D ) I have imported the geometry via a .sat file from rhino into a revit family file. I then click on the geometry and go to 1. element properties 2. visible 3. add parameter... This opens the parameter properties menu, from here I choose 1. family parameter 2. set group parameter to materials and finishes 3. choose a name This is where my problem begins though. The menu "type of parameter" is greyed out and fixed on "yes/no" rather than on "materials" as I need.I imagine that it might be because I have have a problem with the imported geometry? Am I trying to do something that can't be done or am I missing something in my workprocess? I am using Revit Architecture 2009 (I hope I am posting in the right forum?) and am attaching the file in question Any help would be greatly appreciated :D

Hi jutoft, look, when you import to Revit a model made in Rhino, you always will find its materials here: Settings-->Materials... (see image). Depending on the colors you gave to its components (i.e. blue for glass, etc.), you´ll find them with names like "Render Material 255,255,255" which will be assigned with a blue color, what you have to do is to assign a material to each component (see image). This is also effective to models imported from Sketchup, 3ds Max (both via .dwg type files) and AutoCAD.

Rather than do this, I recommend going to settings-->Object Styles-->Imported and linking the layers to materials of regular naming. This way you don't end up with materials that are specific to certain families.

Is there a way to apply multiple materials within one import. I successfully did what was said above, but was not able to apply different materials to different layers of my import.
