Hi,

I'm new to Revit and am completing a uni project in it. I've imported some DWG files from skethup into my revit file, which has seemed to work fine. Though, when I render, all of the imported objects are rendering grey. I've tried changing the colour import settings between invert and preserve, which changes the colour of the object 'in model', but the renders are still coming up grey for both.

Any help anyone could provide would be much appreciated!!

Thanks,

Alyce

I've had a look at similar posts and have tried to adjust the layers under object types, but only two out of ten components seem to be working. Does anyone know why this is happening? I've tried changing the materials to the same as the ones that are working and it still doesn't work. When I extend the object list, each component only has about 2 different layers.

Please help! Thanks
