Hi there, welcome to the Revitinfo.com Forum!
I think I understand your question, but I need some more info...are the imported furniture DWG objects or what? How did you import them? Did you check to see that they had materials applied to them? I assume you can see them in the shaded 3D view before you render? _______________

yes, the furniture I bring in is a dwg from haworth office furniture. They do have the materials already set so when you view in shaded theres something on it. I found their materials and replaced them with the real ones I needed, they show correct in shaded view. When I go to render they then show up all white. |

Hi again,
Yeah, honestly, I haven't had a tremendous amount of success Rendering imported DWG files, although I haven't tested it extensively either.
What version of Revit are you using and I can give it a whirl...would you mind attaching one the DWG files you imported in so I could test? Attaching the project file would be even better so I could see your settings, etc and help you troubleshoot it.
Always glad to help _______________

You can post it here...just use the attachments Tab when you are creating a new post...it will allow large files, but if you don't mind, purge everything out of the file before posting, just to keep the file size down...if it's 20-30 mb, just give it some time to process, it could take 2-3 mins to post.
If that doesn't work for you, I can give you an email you can send it to. _______________

Can you post the Rvt file too? It would help to make sure I can see the settings of your file. Again, the forum can recieve large files, just give it some time when you upload. _______________
