Revit 2017 To Unreal Engine 4 Tutorial With ScreenShots

[Candarco]

Could this same workflow work for AutoCAD Architecture 2016?

I can follow the workflow, but wen importing to ue4, the textures are kinda missing and i just got some lame colours and when building light it looks like a ***… i dont know… weird. All textures are strangly pattered light is all but correct

Same goes for me… I tough that I am the only one stuck, but this topic helped me understand that I am not alone into this torture…
I have read all the stuff I could find so far, but no luck. I am unable to complete a scene in U4 from Revit.

All the tutorials have missing some important details or just skipped by some reason, and the results never comes to life when try to follow the tutorials.

I think you want to remake your materials in UE4 anyways because Revit doesn’t use PBR. It’s been awhile since I’ve done it so I may be wrong though.

When I bake the lighting my light maps are all messed up. Anyone else have this problem?

Hi, im working with unreal and revit for many months now and recently im encounter a problem, im exporting a house project to max and then exporting to unreal, the problem is that some geometries cant be exported, in this particular casethe walls and some floors, after a week trying to fix this i change the type of walls and it works.

My question is, why some type of walls dont work and other type work peferctly, any idea?

Hi guys can you please help me with first steps in this software? I come from revit and 3dsmax procedure, but i have to put my materials correctly because after procedure, i cannot see anything…
here my result importing model into UDK:

The best workflow I’ve found is to export your model from Revit as .FBX, import the FBX into 3DS Max, convert your units to centimeters, select all the objects and us a script to convert all your materials to standard materials. While all the objects you wish to export are selected, change all the pivot points of the selected objects to a desired by using the align tool. Unwrap the objects with SteamRoller then export the objects in your scene with TS_Tools UE4 FBX exporter. It may be wise to rename some of the objects before exporting them with TS_Tools. This is the workflow I have been using and it works just fine for me. I hope this helps.

What script do you recommend to convert all materials to standard materials? Thanks for the tips!

Hi ! I have a few questions

• Do you import the Revit FBX to 3DS Max without combining in any way? (Until now I have combined by material while importing as it reduces the number of objects in the scene)
• Your scene has 129 objects. My scene has over 3000 objects when imported without combining. So I would prefer to combine objects together. Is there any other step you follow, like grouping all columns together / grouping walls together etc?
• While exporting FBX with TSTools do you end up with 129 FBX files for your scene? In my case I would end up with over 2000 if objects are not combined.

hi ritesh
if you combine your meshes then you must have bigger lightmap size in ue4 simething like 2048 or 4096 for combined objects

and it will make it hard to unwrap in 3ds max and baking light in ue4

ue4 does not have problem with 3000 object so you can import them in separate way

Hi .

I follow all the steps and when I put materials in unreal it gives me problems. In a wall, for example, after aplying material; it is all in a single color or single diffuse color. I do not know if it something about units, in revit you put mm units (also 1000m in other step).

I m trying for time but don’t get a good result.

Thanks

hi Lorenzus77

if you select combine meshes ] option . you will have static mesh with layered material

[Lorenzus77]

Thanks, I owe you one!!

Please help.When I am using that steamroller script,the 3dsmax get stuck at 52% and I later get a not responding message.
And by the way what does this script do?
