FamilyType.ByGeometry in Revit 2025 (Dynamo 3.0.3) error message

Hi,

I am testing Revit 2025, it seems, the FamilyType.ByGeometry node is not working.

It is returning null with poping up an error about an elementId and its deleting.

Could someone please help?

Thanks a lot

Vladimir

curious what units you have set in your Revit project?

Meters, I have tried several projects, a few solid geometries, still the same.

There seems to be an interaction change in 2025, where imported stuff is pinned. So I think it is causing this line to fail?

So it might not be a 2025 change, but those imported SATs being pinned seem to be causing the issue.

any solution here? Thanks!

Was fixed in an update - make sure you’re fully patched.


It seems I have the latest version

FamilyType.ByGeometry is in the core nodes.

The fix for that not working is to update Revit.
The custom node in the springs package has not been fixed, and as the author isn’t very active may not ever be. Use the FamilyType.ByGeometry node and generate a family instance after that.
