Hello, I am currently struggling with exporting my Dynamo file to Revit. I’ve tried Exporting the Geometry to a SAT file, I’ve tried exporting it as a family as well and also with the “ImportInstance.ByGeometry/ies” but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions? ![Capture2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/d/0/d092b4666311c663d90dc5ad9c709d32fe614340.png) ---

maybe start a conceptual mass family first, then start dynamo and run it A Generic model family to start with might work aswell ---

Thanks for the tip. I tried that and received this error: ![Capture3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/9/0912d561b2cb12518d932fcf5990769759e72495.png) ---

thats ok. make sure masses are visible in visiblty graphics ---

I can see the masses in the Family project, but not in the normal Revit project. Also, I can’t select or do anything with the geometries after I’ve exported them to Revit. ---

check your visibility settings in Revit or make a 3D view What is your plan? ---

The problem is I have this compilation of random boxes that I’ve summed up as one body. Now I just want to split up the different floors and make a glass facade. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/9/c/9c4470f8fc0a54b9c859d4a7f4fba10d9c50463f.png) As You see, I’ve split the floors, but Im struggling to go further. ---

use floor by face in Revit. those floors will update as the geometry updates (a button in revit will be actived for that) ---

Yes, I see, but it requires me to select the mass, which i can’t do at all. I can only look at it in 3d. I looked at the view settings and everything was checked. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/3/3/33654340e81289c9f54c5e1b3964ed33fe40ceaf.png) ---

try skipping the solid by union node or post your complete graph by zooming in to just one node then click the camera button (right top in Dynamo) ---

I skipped the Solid by Union node, but no luck. This is the whole graph - the problem(i think) is where i am currently at - to the right. [https://workupload.com/file/FPM8RCfM](https://workupload.com/file/FPM8RCfM) (I couldn’t upload the PNG here, so im sending a download link to it) ---

if anything, all i would need is something like a .dwg file with the floor dimensions, so that i can make the facade manually. ---

no, now I can’t see it in Revit at all ---

can you see it in the mass family? ---

no, neither the mass family, nor in a normal revit 3d ---

you need an Import _Instance.ByGeometry_ node, sorry i deleted it in your file feed it all the solids [Next page](https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/exporting-dynamo-to-revit/31595.md?page=2)
