Im new to revit architecture 2013 and am designing office interiors. Many of the models I use are downloaded from manufacture websites which are a mixture of 3ds and dwg files. I import these into sketch up to remove any material off them as otherwise I have issues applying revit textures. However, now when I render these blocks have random dark shadows on them, triangles than don't match with the light source. I export from sketch up as a 2007 dwg file and import the cad file straight into revit project. Realistic viewport looks correct but render is effected by random shadows. The same block in a project has different shadows as if it is being effected by the light? Any ideas? I do have an image but can't seem to upload it whilst using an iPad. Many thanks, Diane

I would make sure you are rending on High setting with your detail level set to fine.  It sounds like it may be a lighting problem so perhaps double check your light layout as well.  You could try putting an Out Of The Box piece of furniture in your project and render to see if you are still getting the same effect and if you don't then you have a problem with the manufacturers family.
