exporting topo surface to dwf with colours

Hi,

 

I didn't have any joy in the MEP area so I'll try this one.....

 

I have a Revit MEP model with a linked topo surface. Its a proper Revit topo surface.

Our deliverable in this case IS the model, not 2D sheets.

When I export to dwf, which is the format we will be delivering to the customer, the topo surface comes out grey. Everything else holds its colour, the pumps, tanks, pipes etc in the model all show the colour applied using materilas or filters as appropriate. The topo surface has green 'grass' dark grey 'bitumen' etc materials applied to it and displays correctly in the MEP model.

 

Does anyone know how I can get the topo to export to dwf in colour?

 

Using RMEP2010 and Design Review 2010

 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

FYI. It's a desalination plant. So there's a few linked models... Topo surface with access road etc, Sea water intake structure (bottom end), Desal plant & pipework (top end & what I'm working on).

This was a known limitation with Revit 2010 products.  This was improved with the 2011 release of Revit; if you export a site object it will accurately display its material color [versus the gray color] in 2011:
