I’ve downloaded a trial version. Exported a Revit model via fbx, imported to showcase. assigned a few materials. but when standing on the inside of a building I get reflections of the outside environment in reflective materials when I should only get reflections of interior geometry. Anybody else experience this? Is this a setting somewhere I’m missing?

When you are in hardware shading the reflections by default showing the environment. I think in the material properties you can select another map for reflection for the specific material.

If you use Ray tracing instead of hardware shading you can have local reflections.
