I made a Brick column with insulation and a steel IPE-profile inside. All objects in the assembly has been assigned material and colour, and when I create the BIM-model, I skip "simplify substitute", and my model looks exactly as it should in the revit 3D view, but then I make a section view, I loose all detail, except for wireframe "visual style" setting. And also all colours disappear.
In the JPG I attach into this post, you can see on the two top pictures, how the cut looks in Inventor. I would like to have the same look in revit, when making a section view?
Is that possible?
Thanks for your time!

What is the family category? Make sure is is one of the cuttable categories.
Yes, here is the family attached! When changed to "furniture systems" - the colours AND lines reappear BUT the family is nolonger cut.
So even though the section view is cutting straight though it, it only shows outer surface see picture below for reference. In red the family that doesn't cut, and in green circle the house that cuts just fine
Again thank you for your time!
Did you follow the steps below? Unfortunately I don't have Inventor to test.
I have now found that saving the parts of the inventor assembly, devided into each material and the exported as a ".rfa" file and then classified as "casework" THEN the lines show according to the cut BUT still no colours as there is in the rest of the house(Se picture above). Would love to keep the colours, and yes I have followed the steps, but some I might have not looked enough into, I will try to do that, thank you for your reply!
Are you doing this exercise as part of an Inventor Learning tutorial? or are you actually planning on creating BIM components from Inventor?
Simply exporting a BIM Component only generates a Revit Family with an imported symbol .iam which will NOT be Cuttable even in a Generic Model (unless you explode it and which doesn't always work)

Hello!
My intention is to make assemblies which doesn't require extra work when making a section view. Such as detail lines and region fills. I wanted to contruct all elements from families so when I make a section cut of my building, all of my produced components show as I made them in inventor.

Yes because that is how you modeled it in Inventor...The Export BIM Components simply export the parts the way you modeled them. Revit or any other BIM authoring tool which you might use need to be able to identify the Parts of the .IAM as separate components in which case the material applied in the .IAM only makes the parts look different but it does not count as a part identifier when you exporting the file to Revit Family.
The Export BIM Components will not help you in this case...Instead of export BIM components, you can try with exporting as a .SAT and manually importing to Revit Generic Model Family. The .SAT should be cuttable and material should show in the sections
