I have a set o curves and lines that I create on Dynamo that I’d like to use on Revit. I have tried running Dynamo player, using the ImportInstance’s byGeometry and exporting to .SAT then importing back into Revit. But none of these solutions seem to work. Is the issue that I am exporting lines and curves instead of solids? If so, how could I export them out of Dynamo.

If you would want to have them in Revit as curve elements, perhaps [ModelCurve.ByCurve](https://dictionary.dynamobim.com/#/Revit/Elements/ModelCurve/Create/ByCurve) would work?

Hi @bruno.teruel

As Jacob mentioned you can use `ModelCurve.ByCurve` to convert the dynamo lines into Revit Lines and here’s a snip

Accordingly, you can pick for your workflow. i hope it resolves your Query but in case you wish to do something else do elaborate.
