Hi,
Im having issues separating what surfaces I can apply material assets to. In my Revit model I have various carpets on the floor ( they are assigned different names,materials, and hatch textures in REVIT). In the “Floors” object in D5 I can apply a different material to the concrete floor and the carpets, but I want each carpet a different material.
I have other instances in D5 where I can apply a different material to each surface in the object (which is what I want) so know its possible, just don’t understand what needs to be corrected.
-I am running the latest Revit converter
-I have tried syncing with all the different settings in the Revit convert (Group materials by assets, use consistent colors, and by separating all categories)
We will certainly support Revit 2026, but we do not have any specific dates yet. We will let you know once we have started our Beta Test so we can invite you. Thank you.
Can you guys explain how the Export and Separated functions work in the D5 tab in Revit? This video is 4 years old. The menu doesn’t look like that anymore.
Is it possible to set the setting to export families rather than categories before starting up D5? Or do I need to export separately? I’m finding it hard to link the model back in when I export separately. A video of that workflow is nowhere to be found.
Do you mean this one? Basically, if you have some families that do not need to be exported, you can exclude them. If you need to update the model, i think you can do the same process and reload the model in D5 (this will prompt you to select the file)
Revit 2027 is expected to launch alongside Lite for Revit. We can’t disclose the exact date, as it may be subject to change, but it’s likely to be released next month if everything goes smoothly.
Beta testing will take place before the official release and is typically accessible through our Discord community, we’ll share more details as we get closer.
In the meantime, if downgrading to Revit 2026 is an option for you, that may be the best path forward. You can convert your Revit 2027 file to IFC format and open it in a previous version of Revit.
Yes, D5Lite is coming to Revit, together with Revit 2027 support. If you’re interested, you may share to me your Discord Username so we can invite you once beta testing will start.
