Hi am new to this site, having it recommended from someone from Revitcity based on the wealth of technical knowledge that people in these forums have.
I have been working on massing models in 3ds max as I want to take advantage of its modelling ability over revits simple massing optoins. Basically I have created a model in max 8 which I have exported as a 2004 dwg so that I can import into a massing group so I can use the building maker tools on the object. When I finish it I get the following error:
"Mass contains only mesh geometry, which can’t be used to compute floor area faces, volume, or surface area"
I know that exported objects are seen by Revit (and ACAD) as mesh objects, however how can I then get this so that I can use it as a massing object and slice floors through it etc (esp as building maker only lets me select a small number of faces of the imported object)
I have attached the max file and the dwg if anyone is wanting to have a go
