How do I import a CAD model with materials?

Hi,
I’m trying to import an AutoCAD model with simple materials - color, reflectance, transparency. The simplest way would seem to be to assign the materials in CAD, then export to FBX. However, when I do it this way, I don’t get any materials when importing into Touchdesigner.

What is the recommended workflow here? Do I export a set of objects for each material to it’s own FBX, and then assign materials within Touchdesigner? That seems kind of slow, and from reading other threads it seems like people have had success bringing materials into TD.
