Importing Revit Sun Orientation into Max

[abraham.jayson]

I am working on a rendering of a Revit 2009 file in Max. After exporting a fbx file and importing it into max the cameras, materials, and geometries remain intact. However, max inexplicably flips the sun orientation 180 degrees to the north and I cannot seem to resolve this issue. Does it have something to do with choosing a compatable rendering preset (mental ray)?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The only reason I can think of is settings in Revit. Have you manually configured the sun or building site 180 deg different than the default? The sun setting in 3ds max should match the settings in the revit 3d view that is exported.
