I am having a lot of problems with the import Rhino function with the Rhino.Inside.Revit plugin, from the plugin just not reading any geometry, importing elements at different scales, and crashing constantly. Help!
Hi Randy, Can you post the troublesome file? It sounds like you have complex geometry that revit can’t handle. Upload here if you need to upload privately. Rhino - Upload to Support

Thanks - just sent you the file and the error messages I have received. I know Revit is capable of the geometry - I was able to import it once, but when I needed to make an adjustment to the surface normals to get materials to show properly, everything feel apart. Thanks for your help!
Thanks Randy,
The file was unitless so I set the Rhino/Revit units to Centimeters with a .01 tolerance.
Using the Add Geometry DirectShape to test the geometry, all imported successfully with one error (orange highlighted edge in Rhino)
Thanks
I went back and made sure the Rhino file had units and when reimporting to the family, I got this error:
And then Revit crashed. I will note that I am using the import .3DM drop down from the Rhino.Inside toolbar, not Grasshopper. I am not sure if that makes a difference. I am pretty new to Rhino and don’t have any experience with Grasshopper.
Thanks
I’ve seen that error in files with no units. There was a recent fix in 1.9 RC that may be related.

Thanks
I updated to 1.9.8 and that did seem to solve most of the problems. The only lingering issue now is that 2 components in the geometry come in at a completely different scale:
Note that it’s importing from one Rhino file, with units set to inches and tolerance set to 0.01
Any ideas why this would be happening? I attached the source Rhino file.

Make sure your Rhino Units are matching your Revit Units.
There are considerable tolerance issues with this one area, it still brings in the geometry but in its lowest form (mesh)
Importing as 3dm (DirectShape Type) didn’t bring anything out of scale.
Thanks - seeing both files at the same scale seemed to resolve the problem.
Only other issue, which I think is an Autodesk problem, is that once I get the geometry into Revit, it I switch back to Rhino, Revit immediately crashes. I’ve adjusted my workflow to finalize everything in Rhino, close, import the file to Revit, save, close Revit and restart the program. Not sure if others are experiencing that as well.
Thanks for reporting. Are you able to submit a crash report?
I would like to replicate that if possible, this was immediately after using the import .3dm? Can you provide your Rhino SystemInfo (type systeminfo in the rhino command line). As well as the about info from your Rhino.Inside.Revit.
Sure

Hi @Randy2,
This is what I obtain using RiR v1.10 and Revit 2021.1.2. without adjusting 3DM units, just importing your inches model on a Revit mm model.
Project Document
Family Document
No meshes or other artifacts on my side.
What Revit version are you using?
Thanks
Revit 2021.1.7
The issue I have is that once I import the geometry, if I go back to Rhino (opened separately, not within Revit), when I go back to the Revit window, Revit immediately crashes.
Randy, I’m not able to replicate this. Can you open Rhino and create new file with just a box. Then open Revit - RiR and import and get the same result? Thanks.
Just an update:
This continues to be a problem. Once I launch Rhino.Inside, import Rhino geometry, if I minimize Revit and work in virtually any other application, Revit will immediately crash when I switch back to Revit.
In addition, I continue to have problems with parts of the Rhino geometry just don’t show up in Revit.
Can you post or send us your problem geometry, thanks!
Does your system info still show enscape as the only 3rd party plugin? Is Enscape up to date?
Here is the Rhino Geometry. There are a few components in here that will not populate in Revit unless I explode the surfaces into smaller parts.
