  2. Scale of textures is screwed upp when importing or linking Revit files in metric units.

    We are experiencing lots of trouble importing Revit files with textures. The textures will not come through correctly although both Revit and 3D Studio Max is set to metric units. This is very annoying and a must fix to support a good workflow between Revit and Max! Please fix!

  3. Option to import Autodesk materials from Revit as Standard materials instead.

    When we import Revit files we don´t always want them to have the Autodesk materials since we very often want to substitute them for A&D or Standard materials instead (for different purposes). A choice to import as 3D Studio Max Standard material would be great so we don´t have to go through the tedious task of recreating the materials over and over again.
