FBX from Revit to C4D Problem

Hello,

I have a client sending me a FBX file from Revit 2012 but it’s not coming in correctly. There are no textures, material, or lights. Only the model. The same file seems to open correctly in 3DS Max. Is there a plug in I need to install to make this work? I’m using Cinema 4D R12.

Thanks!
Jeff

Hey Jeff,

Please check this with the support.

If you have it open in 3DS: have you tried to save from there in different FBX versions?

If I recall the R12 time correctly, there was a lot back and fore (my impression) with the FBX from Autodesk.

You might also check the demo R13 if it works nicely there, or if the file is not too large, I can take a look here.

All the best

Thanks Dr. Sassi. Always a fast reply. I’ll give that a shot.
