importing .dwg or .max objects into Revit and assigning materials

[narlee]

I CANNOT BELIEVE that ADesk hasn't furnished a straight forward pipeline for this or have i misseed something lately?

I believe you can push Materials created in Revit or Acad to Max, but not vice versa.
I believe you can use the same materials material, but you might need to reassign them once you've imported them.
