Springs Family Instance By Geomeotrry

Hello,

When converting dynamo solid to Revit, everything seems ok from what the nodes say and is in correct spot in project, but the solid in revit is unselectable, and transparent.
Only way to delete is through undo or delete from project browser.
Same result for the familytype.by geometry node.

But when I do it another computer, with a lot less custom nodes installed, it works fine.

Any reason why it solid is unusable in the other computer? Anyone had same problem?
Are there packages conflicting with the springs nodes?

And this is dynamo 1.3.4 tested in revit 2019

Hi @AB01

Could you please drop here revit file?

Just wanted to weigh in and say I’ve noticed the same behaviour for large geometry imports using this node. I’ve been using Dynamo 2.0.3 so I don’t think it’s a 1.3.4 issue. You’re not alone on this one :slight_smile:

Typically I will either close my session, or select the instance from project browser and place a new one, which typically then shows up.

I’m guessing it might have something to do with the ability for Revit to show something it’s just created via this specific API transaction - just guessing though.

Unable to send revit file because its for work.

But i did test it again on the same computer that had issues and the same project. This time deleted all packages except for the packages i required. still same error. Strange thing is in some views it is fine

Tried it on same computer but brand new project. it did work fine.

GavC - creating new instnace never worked for me. never tried closing session.

Looks like its a Revit model specific error, but cant think of a “setting” that fixes it.

Necromancery here
But Revit 2025 now
And this still happens

Anyone solved this?

Every time I have seen this it winds up being the user seeing the temporary geometry not the new elements, which are hidden in the view due to one of the many view settings. Best to start a new topic and provide a simple graph which reproduces the error and a dataset to test with.

Heyya
Tinkered around and found out whats the issue
I turned off “Imported Categories” and it becomes wireframe at that view
Specifically, it’s that “Default Category”

Hope this helps anyone coming across this issue

Revit is now defining my Element as CAD Import? not sure

Depends on how you built it, but yes that can be the case. Need to see your graph to help, so post an image export and the content to reproduce if there is still need.
