How to get aerial imagery to upload from Revit model?

I'm working on a project where I have a Revit model with about 100 different "areas" of heavy civil work to be accomplished. We'd like to upload each of these areas as a model into build with CY estimates and other properties defined. Along with asset tracking so we can set up many different statuses to track progress of the project. I've accomplished that as each area being a toposolid. I'd now like to have a back ground aerial image so field crews have a general idea of where they're at in real time. 
I started with a model generated from Infraworks and imported it to Formit. From Formit, was able to import that surface model with aerial imagery into Revit and located on a level just below my toposolids. It looks great in Revit.
Problem: When I upload the Revit model into Build, the Infraworks terrain/topography remains along with roads but the imagery does not upload.
Looking for advice on how to get the imagery to upload into Build.

 

I have tried to upload just a jpg into revit and locate that behind the model but that also doesn't upload into build.

I'll attach some pictures of each Revit and Build to see what's missing.

It seems like the aerial imagery isn’t carrying over to Autodesk Build because Build might not recognize embedded images. Try linking the image as a material to a surface or exporting the Infraworks model as an FBX, which can retain the imagery better. Also, ensure the file format (like JPG/PNG) is supported, and check your shared coordinates for alignment. If the issue persists, Autodesk Support or forums might have a more specific workaround. Good luck, and let us know how it turns out!

Thanks for the reply. I'll give it a whirl. One other thing I thought of this morning was the imagery only shows up in realistic view in Revit. I wonder if there's a way publish the model in such a way that it's "rendered" and Build then recognizes it.
