Hey again,

Since i didn't find an abstract tree for revit, i downloaded a great tree from 3d warehouse to skechup.

when i import this tree to revit it'll always render on grey. is there any way to change the matrials for imported 3d CAD to SKP models?

Materials for CAD based products like sketchup are controlled by assigning materials to their layers.   You can do that through the manage tab/object styles/imported objects.

The sketchup item has to be built correctly with surfaces that would be different on different layers.  You may be able to edit the sketchup file to fix this.... but it sometimes takes a lot of work.  I find that a lot of these items are done poorly for our needs.

Just check if any surfaces in SU was done with paint bucket.

If so, you have to remove them.
