Sweep a profile Family along Curve / Incorrect Scale!

Hello,
I need some help with modelling a family profile that sweeps a curve, this curve is a 3D polyline that I need to import from Autocad.

So, I linked my DWG file, I made this script in order to have the families I am looking for.

The problem is, when I close my Dynamo file everything disappears in revit, and when I look for the family I create I find that the scale is incompatible.

I can’t figure out if the problem is in my family or in my model

In this picture, it still created, but i cant select it, and if i close Dynamo file, it desapear.

Do you have any ideas to solve this problem please ?

@RMohareb thnak u for this solution, I am trying it. I cant open the revit file because it’s from a recent version then revit 2022. But the Dynamo file i have this error

“Warning: CADApplication…ctor operation failed.
Opération non disponible (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800401E3 (MK_E_UNAVAILABLE))”

you need to open Autocad aplplication when you run the dynamo revit
You need adaptive family for that you need to open revit file to get the family
