Okay I just picked up 3d max 8.0 and I was wondering from people who have used it, does Revit 8.1 do a easy transfer into that program or am I still going to have to take the drawings into ADT?

i think you are still going to have to export out of Revit to autocad or some other format and import into 3d Max

Set up a 3D view in Revit then export that view to a .dwg file. In Max link that .dwg file in and be sure to use the Revit profile in the Max link manager. The materials asigned to object will come over in the .dwg metadata but you will have to assign them to a Max material. Light fixtures will come over, but not the light source so you will have to created those in Max.
If you link the Revit export in then when the Revit file changes simply re-export and Max will pick up the changes.

Okay Autodesk...why oh why you sell the two same products make them mover easier to cross platform!!!!
I mean $5000.00 for a software program isnt cheap..And why do you guys make it so difficult!

ok a few quik question whiles on the 3d max topic...
1. is viz render the same as 3d max if your just rendering or flybys and walkthroughs of a building??
2. also can i put my revit design into 3d max or viz and create fly bys and walkthroughs??
any tips or discussion would be nice thanks as im looking for the best looking renders possible (photo realist) but have had not much experience with these programs but im willing to learn as my teacher is teaching viz.
Id also like to know will a 2 gig of ram be powerful enough to do this??

3d max blows away viz...
Its harder to learn..But the rewards are amazing.

....The only thing is that 3d max starts at around $5900.00 just for the basic program and then it has many I mean many architectural and real life materials that you can use..
