🔥 "Fix Material Editing Issue in Revit (Rhino-Imported Model Problem Solved!)"

    Have you encountered the issue where a Rhino-imported model loses its material and texture information when imported into Revit? If so, this guide provides a step-by-step solution to resolve the problem.

1) Creating and Assigning Materials in Rhino

    First, open Rhino and create a mass. For this example, I will generate a simple mass and assign an orange paint material to the object in Rhino.

2) Creating a New Family in Revit (Metric Generic Model)

    Instead of importing the model directly into a Revit project file, it is recommended to first create a new family file using the Metric Generic Model template. This method allows for better management of the imported model.

3) Importing the 3DM File Using Rhino.Inside.Revit

    If you are still using traditional methods, such as importing CAD files, you should switch to Rhino.Inside.Revit, as it provides a more efficient workflow. You can download the Rhino.Inside.Revit plugin for free from the official website. Rhino.Inside.Revit

4) Editing Materials in the Enscape Material Editor

    After importing the Rhino model into Revit, you may notice that textures do not appear in the realistic view—only in the texture view. This occurs because the program recognizes the material as paint, displaying only the base color in Enscape. To fix this, open the Enscape Material Editor in Revit and adjust the material settings to match the original Rhino material.
