Does anyone know how to make an under ground car park, and also when you import cars, eg http://www.revitcity.com/downloads.php?action=view&object_id=13718

The car comes up with like heaps of lines on 3D view. It has NO MATERIAL, just the shape of the car.

Could you pleaase look at the following picture and explain to me how to fix it and put materials on it.

Please help me? Thanks

1-) Create a PAD in that topo to create the "hole", then create walls and slabs and so on to create the park.

2-) Did you RENDERED the car to see if it has materials??? Open the car family, goto MATERIALS tab and I bet there are materials in there... about the "...like heaps of lines on 3D view." - is just like that.... that "car" is a Cad - Sketchup model, not a pure Revit Model...

Wow, thankyou very much, so how does rendering work? and what is it used for specifically? Is there a way to render only the car and and keep it rendered?

You can Render the car by itself but you can't keep the render i don't think.

Rendering is usually done for a presentation aspect. Once you render something it is basically just an image, you cannot manipuate the families of a rendering so no you cannot keep a family rendered. 

Spend some time with your HELP menu for rendering information. Its pretty useful.
