Hello All! I’ve created a solid in dynamo from Sufrace.ByLoft. From here on I’m able to create a solid from this undulating surface. All seems right because I get a volume out of this surface. ![ComplexSolid](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/4/1/41638909f817e6b95b13988422006873a41e3129.png) All the previous is based on another topic: [http://dynamobim.org/forums/topic/thicken-by-direction/](http://dynamobim.org/forums/topic/thicken-by-direction/) However, when I try to import this solid into Revit, It imports only surfaces. Those surfaces represent ‘2 sides’ of the solid. Am I doing something wrong, or is my geometry to complex? Since I’m a new user, I can’t put another image in this post… ---

_Springs.FamilyInstance.ByGeometry_ seems to be throwing a error An inefficient trial and error suggestion would be to make small alterations to the geometry and try. You could also try _ImportInstance.ByGeometry_ and _FamilyType.ByGeometry_ ![20171026-3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/2/62ec0bc39241c02ba6472a8a0f70b0d755ed6d85.png) ---

Hi Vikram, Thanks for your reply! I’ve tried ImportInstance.ByGeometry but I get the same result. I’ve also tried exporting it as Sat. Doesn’t work either. I doubt if Springs.FamilyInstance.ByGeometry is creating the error. I suspect the problem lies somewhere else, because my ‘ghost geometry’ in Revit doesn’t match my dynamo geometry… ---

Try altering the Revit units and see what happens (again, just guessing) Might help if you upload the relevant files here (or provide a dropbox link to the same, if you can’t) ---

I’ve tried altering the Revit units, but I get the same result. Only 2 faces of the solid are imported. ---

It works fine from my end. I have tested your files 🙂. Could you uninstall and reinstall again springs package. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/a/5/a55c8925f8a80121be5479f720727fd0c54feb5a.png) ---

@jeroen.infranea I have also tested using OOTB node it works fine.
