Just a quick tip for those exporting to 3d Max. If you customize your materials inside of Revit using custom image files (Jpegs, tiffs, etc) you need to put the image files in a folder in this subdirectory:
..\Revit Architecture 2010\Data\Rendering\assetlibrary_base.fbm\Materials.
When you export the FBX file to a folder it acts not unlike a zip file. When you import the FBX into 3dmax, 3d max makes sub folders in the same folder the fbx file from Revit is located. In that folder you will see your custom image files. If you do not do it this way, max will not find the custom image files on import. You can however always add a path to a custom bitmap folder inside of 3d Max. I suppose it depends upon how you want to work.
Best regards,
