I’m just trying to bring some geometry from REVIT into Dynamo to do some further post-processing on it. Never tried it before but I’ve built lots of Dynamo geometry in REVIT so I honestly thought it would be easier. Family type is ramp. Seems to be reading into dynamo fine. There’s no preview in dynamo for one thing, but there also doesnt seem to be a way to easy get at the surfaces except to rebuilt them from the lunch box node? How are other handling this sort of thing?

What is the results of the OOTB Element.Geometry node?

No change when I used OOTB Element.Geometry and Element.solid. It picked up the element fine but no display or option to further post process the solid’s faces in dynamo.
