Hey all,

 

I've drawn up a 3d model in autoCAD and I want to bring it into Revit to render it.  I've brought the model into Revit but Revit essentially makes the whole file one large block.  While the layers are still visible, when I click on one, the entire model is highlighted.  I've tried going to settings, object sytles, imported objects and assigning materials to my layers there, but when I render, none of the layer take to the material.  

Please help. I've attached my file.

 Thanks in advance.

I didn't open your file BUT in the "Materials" check for materials name like "Render ###.###.###", then change those "###" by a material and render, watch what happen... then let me know....
