I prepared a DWG with a satellite image to link into Revit.
Everything looks good in AutoCAD but when I link into Revit the aerial photo is not displayed, just geometry.
I linked it in and placed it with default settings with the same unit system for all models.
I also tried different graphic settings in the view and nothing seems to work.
Is there a setting to adjust to see the photo layer of this image when it goes into Revit?
Graphics below to describe the issue:
The prepared AutoCAD dwg file in AutoCAD desktop showing the topography and satellite imagery:
The DWG linked into Revit but not showing the satellite imagery only the topography in 3D.
The image below is rendered with 'realistic' mode in the 3D view:
I can say how I do it to work in my projects:

Interesting I'm going to try this option.
The only issue is that you have to import the AXM file instead of just linking it like a DWG.
If you want to update the site layout or reduce the Revit file size this can be an issue.
I tried your technique with the project site and it looks a lot better than the original image.
The file size of the AXM model import wasn't too bad, about 22MB.
I experimented with other sites and they were over 100MB inserted into Revit.
Do you have other workflows or techniques to get terrain images into Revit with Autodesk or other platforms?
I want to try other avenues to see what can work and what the options are.
Thanks for your help.
