This is my method, not sure if it's the best but it works for me.
- Detach model and save a copy that I can mess around with and not affect the contract documents.
- Clean out all the junk in the Revit model that I won't need or see.
- Export the *.fbx into 3ds Max
- Clean the remaining geometry/model what is required
- Add Corona sun and sky, materials, and cameras.

Thank you for your workflow description. Someone in our firm uses a similar process. I am researching whether enscape would be an easier/quicker alternative. Especially for the less render friendly folks and the last minute "adjustment" types. Some revit>corona renders I've seen are amazing.

We use Lumion in the office for getting quick visuals out, which is similar to Enscape. It's really handy when you don't have time or I need someone else to do the renderings.
The fidelity isn't the best in my opinion, but I'm a bit biased and picky because I love working with 3ds/Corona.

I've heard of but haven't used. Will check out also thanks.

Check out TwinMotion as well. It was another expensive option like Enscape and Lumion but then Epic Games bought it and released it for free.

For our users, the regular architects use Enscape. It's easy to use and get good results directly from Revit, Rhino or Sketchup. You will need a reasonably powerful graphics card to get the best out of Enscape, or Lumion for that matter.
You can also easily export the model to a stand-alone executable via Enscape, and it supports Oculus for VR demonstrations.
We have a dedicated team that will take the Revit model, clean it up, import to 3ds max, apply textures etc, then render via Corona or V-Ray.
