Forma to Revit - Geometry Loss

Hello,
Just commenting to make the community aware. I know the "add-in" is officially in but I am running into a few issues in which the geometry and unit data is getting dropped when transferring to Revit. I was also wondering if IFC export will soon be available.

Thanks for reaching out with your question. It looks like this has something specific to your project, so in order for us to troubleshoot we'll need some additional information. I'll send you a private message with further instructions.
Thanks again for getting in touch

Ah, I think I know what's going on . . . .Basic Buildings are only being represented in Revit by creating Walls, Roofs and Floors. I'm guessing you have the "Create walls, floors, and roofs for buildings" option turned off in your Load Forma Proposal dialog?

Ah, Thanks for clearing this up.
Hopefully, in the future, there will be more options?? Bringing Walls / Floors in seems a little too final this early in the design process for larger sites.

Thanks again,
Geoff
