Rhino inside Revit - Direct Shapes geometry is empty

[Hayden_Davis]

Hi there,
Fairly new to rhino inside revit and grasshopper.
i am trying to push rhino geometry into revit and am stuck with the direct shapes node giving me this error

1. DirectShape geometry is empty.
   is anyone able to give me some direction on a fix?
   thanks!

The orange wires indicate they are empty. Check that you indeed have objects on 4_Roof and hit the update button or right click and change it to auto update.

[Hayden_Davis]

yes i do have objects assigned to the layer

[Japhy]

If you input a Value List into Elefront components they will auto-populate, perhaps there is a misspelling?

[Hayden_Davis]

no miss spelling, even with the value list it still comes up with geometry is empty

Hard to help from an image in this case.

4. Isolating the issue and posting files Revit projects are rarely small & the issues are rarely simple. Its understandable that support files aren’t always readily uploadable, for size or for privacy concerns. That said, here are some recommendations: Isolating the question to a new Revit file with the Revit Version in the File Name, then purge the Revit file several times to reduce size. List your GH plugins needed to review the question, if possible remove all gh plugin components no…

If you can also upload a rhino file with sample geometry on that 4_Roof layer so we can have a look

I am receiving the Direct Shape Geometry is Empty error too.

I believe that all of the geometry is going through, but I have not thoroughly verified this.

What is interesting is that 107 objects are received and then it creates 109 Direct Shapes, presumably the two additional Shapes are the empty ones. Thoughts?

Hi! Another useful tool for working between Rhino and Revit is the plug in BEAM. This helps transfer and integrate complex designs from Rhino into Revit, allowing for seamless collaboration between 3D modeling and BIM workflows. This can replace but also work with Rhino inside Revit.
