hello all ,
i have a Direct Shape file exported from speckle , i want to know is it possible that i import this direct shape into rhino and then export it to Revit with grasshopper? my target is that i want to be able to snap to this direct shape in revit , and ideally that i recreate them as revit native elements. Thank you for any help
Hi Tarek Sabra,
Please elaborate a bit, why doesn’t the DirectShape from Speckle work for you? Can you provide more details about the proposed process (pictures, files,…). Thanks
hello Japhy ,
Thanks for your reply , i attached the revit file .as you will see in the revit file i cannot snap to any element and they are all imported as generic model, i want to become able to snap to them or recreate them as revit native element . is it possible to import that files into rhino and then export it back to revit with rhino inside revit ? Thank you

Thanks, i see your issue. The speckle meshes being converted to Mesh Direct Shapes during the export aren’t good for much.
A couple options to try:
Speckle to SKP to Rhino with conversion to Breps on Import. Then off to Revit, although i’m not sure if you will be able to preserve categories.
You can bake to Rhino from Revit and then run MeshToNurb Command before sending them back to Revit. It looks like they are all on the same Category.

There are Mesh to Breps components in Plugins, or you could write your own by scripting these openNurbs methods.
