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.
This script addresses many issues, such as rectifying imperial scaling from FBX, removing Autodesk’s Art renderer, and assigning your renderer of choice.
For versatility, the script enables you to run components separately, and save your custom default settings.
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.
“The script worked wonders when receiving a large Revit model from a client. It made the transition into Max so much easier, and I will be using it on all our future Revit projects.“
“I use Revit To Max every time I import an FBX, which can be a few times a day. It saves me about an hour of work each time, and I use it for fixing other imported formats too. it’s a great workflow!“

“I used to have a different way of dealing with Revit files. It took ages to go through all the objects and was very time consuming. I don’t really worry about it now because it’s all done in one click!”
Let me know how I can help. I use this script myself all the time so I always want it working at its best.
This script has been successfully installed and run on every version of Max from 2014 to 2022.
