I’m trying to convert this file to revit. I click on the Create Elemnets bar after mapping the walls, windows, and doors, it takes a minute or so and creates nothing. Everything seems normal when linking in the CAD file, and mapping the elements, but nothing happens.
@gmccune1 - welcome to the forum!
Could you share over the Model and CAD file you are working with to @Dave? If you can’t publicly share, perhaps you can send a DM.
I tried sending you the file. How do I ‘share’ the file? BTW, I didn’t create this file so I don’t have all the images and files connected, I’m just trying to convert it into Revit.
You can click my thumbnail, then message.
In the message box, you should be able to drag/drop the file. If the file is more than 4MB, you will have to use an external service, like dropbox.
@gmccune1 - file received - thank you!
The CAD file seems to be missing the 22001_XFLR.dwg xref could you bind the attachment then reshare over to me.
Regarding your question about duplicating the layer. Yes, that will cause an issue. You should instead use the Multiple option inside of Select Family Type to define 2 types on the same layer.
Also, if it’s possible please share the Revit project and Helix layer mapping, it will help me work with the same set data that you are working with.
That’s part of the problem. I don’t have the 22001_XFLR.dwg file. I obtained this file from a third party that had received it from the original architect. I think I’ve worked out most of the layout by checking each of the different wall layouts one at a time. I’m unsure how much data I’m missing from that 22001_XFLR.dwg file. I’ll attach the Revit file and another CAD file with dimn=ensions that I’ve been using.
