How can I smooth faces at imported models?

Hi, I have made some furnitures in 3ds Max. Now I imported a dwg file in Revit to create a family. As I know dwg files can not store normals informations. My imported models in Revit are not smooth. I am new to Revit and cant find a way to unify the normals or anything else that my faces looks smooth. But I need to import these models I already created in 3ds Max to edit them in the family editor to create BIM Informations.

 

I attached two screenshots, one of 3ds Max with smooth faces and the second of Revit.

I appreciate any help.

You cannot smooth these imports. The geometry doesn't seem to complex, your best bet is to remodel in Revit.

I would avoid importing "foreign" geometry in revit anyway, it bloats your filesize.
