Hello, I have a problem when exporting the geometry from Dynamo to Robot using the Analyze package. My units in Dynamo is in millimeters, and the export to Revit Works perfeclty fine: ![Skjermbilde2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/0/7/07328d37c8440df9aa37ae189ea548f63ce72136.png) ![Skjermbilde3](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/7/a/7a71fa2e675409cab3a4356a001fc16c10184b03.png) As you can see, the units are both in millimeters. But when I try to export the Dynamo geometry to Robot, it always appears in meters. I tried to change the units to millimeters in Robot before running the Dynamo script. But it just appears in the scale showed in the Picture: ![Skjermbilde](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/1/5/1501011cf8d8ec8ce1770a38dddbc41d6bcd9afd.png) Robot just adds 10^3 to my dimensions. Thanks for any help! ---

Hi @571488 Try to save your mm units in a template and close both the robot and dynamo and reopen them I used to have a similar issue and every time I had to repeat my analysis I had to break the connection between dynamo and robot by closing and reopening them I hope this could help you Regards ---

Hi @Jaafar_Al_Nasire, Thanks for the reply! I have tried to save a new Robot template With mm units. Then i closed the Robot template (Shell Design) and reopened it. I runned my Dynamo script and the Geometry appeared in both Revit and Robot. The Revit modell works just fine as before, but the Robot model is still in meters… Do I have to convert my output With a node or something, when exporting my model to Robot? I thought this was going to work… Strange… ![mm_1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/3/5/35590acd73f07e188d9443d02d42fd1f830db4eb.png) Or is it any problemwWith the template i am using (Shell design)? Thanks again for any help! ---

Hi @Jaafar_Al_Nasire I just converted the units from millimeters to meters in Dynamo, before sending the model to Robot. It Works just fine!
