    Default Daylight Sytem + Scene Lights from Revit Import

    Hello,
    I have imported a revit model into 3ds max which I would like to render, but I am having some problems. It seems that the daylight system imported / derived from revit invalidates other lights in the scene. I have had moderate success rendering the exterior features of my building, but none of the lights that I create inside the structure seem to work. when I remove the revit daylight system from the scene, the max lights begin to render. Is there a way that I can have both in my view?

    Hi,



    The lights are there, but they are not visible because of the intensity difference between the sun and artificial lighting.
    It is a physical behaviour, same if you'd look at a building in a sunny day - you'll hardly see any lighting inside.
    You'll need to cheat a bit and crank up the light intensity to make it visible.

    See the image.

    Thanks,
