    scott laidlaw posted an update in the group Group logo of RevitRevit 10 years, 9 months ago

    I’m looking for help with importing a file originally done in Rhino, exported as a .dwg (2004, with solids enabled) and opened in Revit. I did this because I wanted to create forms in Revit based on those created in Rhino, which is much better at unusual shapes – specifically, a roof form. I was able to pick faces from orthogonal surfaces but not from the curved roof form. Any suggestions for how to solve this? Thanks!

      Hi Scott, I’ll look into this tomorrow. There might be an angle cutoff below which the face can’t be turned into a roof.
