All these features run with a single click:

  • Detaches objects by material/object ID
  • Keeps editable mesh and retains the mesh topology
  • Fixes scale issues from FBX
  • Organises objects into layers based on category
  • Names objects by their category and material
  • Separates material per object (No Multi-Sub materials)
  • Creates a selection set for glass objects, great as a material override
  • Option to clear the environment slot
  • Assigns your default renderer
  • Delete or create a layer for non-geometry objects such as tree null objects
  • Option to Save your scheme
  • Can be used as an object detacher

2022 Update – Now the script automates more of the process for you… 

      • Converts Autodesk materials to standard material
      • Removes Autodesk bitmap and creates a standard bitmap for diffuse texture
      • Replicates the opacity texture map
      • Displays the texture in the viewport
      • Paths the textures imported from the FBX file to the FBM folder via asset tracking
      • Searches for any textures that are stored in the shared 3Ds Max texture maps folder and copies them to the FBM folder.
      • Will also seek out the Mental Ray sky .EXR, which is stored locally.
      • Will track down 255 super whites and tone them down to 220.

** Many of these features can be run independently to assist in importing other file types. (Such as .3Ds files from Sketchup)

I’ve imported many, many FBX files and this is the script I wish I had!

Revit to Max was developed to clean up and organise Revit FBX files in 3Ds Max in one click.  Revit files are essential to an Arch viz project, however most elements will need to be re-modelled, and materials applied. 

This script provides a consistent layering and object organisation that would otherwise take hours to do manually.

Revit to Max Pro delivers reliable and perfect results every time.

Streamline your import process

This script addresses many issues, such as rectifying imperial scaling from FBX, removing Autodesk’s Art renderer, and assigning your renderer of choice. 

Tailor to your needs

For versatility, the script enables you to run components separately, and save your custom default settings.

Updated Material Converter

The new material converter makes it super easy to visually apply materials from your library.  A standard material is created, with no reflection, glossiness, or bump.
