Hi guys,

When I import a IFC file into revit this is what it looks like:

but when I then get the geometry of all the linked elements using the “Get all elements from linked model” node then the “element geometry” node I get this:

The openings aren’t generated correctly in dynamo. Does anyone have experience with this and a solution ?

After generating the geometry in dynamo I use the springnode node Instance.byGeometry and of course it then creates family-instances without the holes.

Help please,  
Verdi
