I installed the latest Maxwell plugin for Revit 2014. I could see the Maxwell plugin buttons in the Revit menu. I drew a couple of generic walls. I selected an output path. I switched to the default 3D view. When I attempted to render I got an error message. Maxwell then opened and began rendering a scene that has elements that are not in the original Revit file, mostly some sort of planes, but not any of the walls I created.
I then assigned a material in Revit to my walls and used the plug in tools to assign an MXM to the material. When I rendered I got the same planes showing up but I also saw an object that resembled my walls, that had a MXM material applied, but it was distorted and unlike my simple wall configuration.
Here is the order that I installed programs or tried to use the plugin:
I already had Revit 2014 installed and working. I installed the latest Maxwell for Revit plugin and attempted to render. I received an error message.
I thought that this was perhaps due to the fact I was using an earlier Maxwell version (I am returning to the program after a long hiatus). I uninstalled my older version of Maxwell and re-installed the latest. Then I uninstalled the plugin and re-installed it again. I still received an error message as described above. I am not sure if this was the same error message I received when trying to render to an earlier version of Maxwell, but i believe the description was simliar.
Please let me know what i can do to remedy the situation. Thank you, Geoff.
