Hi Jia,

You should not have to worry about layer conversion/mapping in revit if 
you are going fbx->obj. However, your families will need to have useful 
materials assigned, where useful is defined as a unique name rather than 
a <by category>, does that make sense?

When you "save as" obj from Rhino there is a checkbox for materials that 
you should check.
