Hi,

How can I get access to materials saved in FBX from Revit 2011?

When I open this file in 3DS Max then filename.fbm folder is created and in 3DS Max I can see the materials.
But when I open in using FBX SDK 2011.3.1 then pFbxNode->GetMaterialCount() always returns zero (filename.fbm folder is not being created).

Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

I don’t believe you can:

This should be put in the FAQ.

I am having the same problem.  Is this a known bug in SDK?  Why would it work in 2010, and not in 2011 if it were not a bug in the Revit 2011?  The node’s material layer says, yes it has a material.  Then trying to get the reference to the material, the node reports a 0 material count and null material reference.

Are you using the current version of Revit?

Here are the boards for Revit.

Perhaps someone there may know.

Thanks for reply.

There is any way to read from Protein 2.0 blob simple texture path or just diffuse color (without analyze whole material)?

I am afraid not.
To get the texture path or diffuse color you need to analyze whole material, but no such support are provided for now.
