Hi again guys. I had this code that worked well on revit 2021, but with 2022 everything has stopped working. I had to create a generic model from an imported DWG. I used Spirn Nodes FamilyInstance.ByGeometry, it works, but the scale of the instance is wrong. I don’t know why this it happens, the fam…

Hello @wouter.hilhorst …this one here should work in 2022 as springs does in previus versions…give it a try. [Screenshot 2022-02-04 104644]

Revit 2022 changed the way units are handled, so scaling is off with this node. Best to pre-scale the geometry as needed before making the family instance, or use the out of the box family type by geometry node followed by the family instance by point node.

Thank you, but the geometry generated is in the rigth place and with the right dimension (is the orange one in the pictures) Is the node FamilyType.ByGeometry which changes the scale (the instance is 3.3 times bigger). I have to scale the family type before placing the instance?

So, since i’m working with metric system and Revit units are imperial, inside the node FamilyType.ByGeometry he read the units of the geometry (metric) as if they were imperial?

[image] DamianoDP: inside the node FamilyType.ByGeometry he read the units of the geometry (metric) as if they were imperial? No - he reads the geometry with the old method of importing geometry via the API, but the new one has additional variables which need to be taken into account. While …

Hi, Did you get any further in solving your problem of the scaled geometry? Im having the same issue here. If you have any suggestion how to solve it I would like to hear. Wouter Hilhorst

Hey, @sovitek I have been looking for this for ages. Thanks a lot!

[image] Create solid in revit If you work in meters here is the setting you need for the geometry export. If this solves your problem please mark as solved. Cheers. [image] Also take a look at my solution here using Spring nodes.

Hello @sovitek , So I tried using this node that you recommended, it created according to its geometry; however, there is an issue: I’m trying to create solids for each rooms, therefore I plugged in the room geometries into the node, and also create a list for the room name and its department- for …

Hi @larismanis try something here…i assume you are in 2022… [rooms]
