Here is an update. Let's try to post something again. I'll try several options for size.

Nope, let's try large.

Layer from material and it is brlilliant.

Thanks Bobby, will try it out.

Out of curiosity, how do you normally import Revit files? I've done all sorts of variations over the years, a bit depending of the Max version, and in 2017 you can relatively reliably open an RVT file directly and then choose to base the layers on materials, type etc. This works relatively ok but basically creates one object per material that you then have to explode, are you saying this script somehow splits up the objects? What happens if an object has more than one material?

Well, I see that there were some new posts while I wrote this, thanks. Love to see a video.

I just import the RVT and with a couple scripts I am good. Here is a quick video - http://bobby-parker.com/architectura...rials-to-layer

I used to import by material, however to tends to combine bits of the model that dont or shouldn't have any relation to each other just because they have the same material.

Now I use import by Family and the model is well organized and very easy to manage
