Fab CADmep IFC export Distorted when inserting to Revit 2016

Anonymous — Wed, 31 Aug 2016 06:58:44 GMT

I have designed a model in Fab CADMEP , this needs to be inserted to a Revit 2015 Model..when i export the model from CADmep as an IFC and link the IFC to Revit, the model becomes distorted, Have you any idea what could be the cause of this?

Thanks

Do you happen to have a screen shot of the distortion? How far away from the Revit origin is the IFC coming in? Large distances from origin in Revit will cause weird graphics issue.

Yeah the IFC is coming in miles away from the Revit origin, see image of distortion below.

I have the same issue. they don't show up in my revit file. MAP proxies are evil.... They can not be used or viewed in Revit. Why?

I have had the AUTOCAD Fabrication enabler installed.

I can not create an IFC file from these two files.

Where are the experts that can tell me why,
