Hi I was wondering if I could make something in Autocad and then import it to revit. I need to make a special roof construction and I can't do it in revit. Thanks for any answers.

Yes.  Revit imports dwg files just fine.  To get materials on it:

 1. Select Modeling->create mass.

2. Import the dwg file.

3. Finish the mass.

4.  Add materials to the faces with the paint tool.

 

Good luck!
