Cant apply material to dwg. file imported from Rhino

[NAUMES]

I imported a Rhino6 file into Revit as a dwg file by linking a CAD file, however, I cant apply materials to it I can apply materials through the object styles manager, but nothing happens its still the default material.

If I import the same file by components>model in place>link CAD file, then I am able to add a materials parameter to it, but same issue where nothing changes after applying the material.

Anyone know a solution for this?

Revit use layers to divide which AutoCAD, Rhino and 3ds Max can easily do it by object itself. So this is why when you insert those object into Revit, it will not separate them. See attached for Revit side. I've split the legs from the sofa.

You can transfer your design files directly from rhino to revit using the BIMDeX plugins. These plugins will help to transfer files across software platforms without losing any data. You can try them
