Toposolid in Family Won't Load to Project

MadoreJacob — Sun, 21 Jul 2024 14:25:58 GMT

Hey guys,

I created a toposolid in a Family (of a ramp) with concrete jersey barriers on it, see below (plan view):

When I go to load this Family into a project, the toposolid is excluded from the load and only the concrete blocks appear:

Naturally, my toposolid visibility is on in the project. I'm not familiar with how the toposolid families work, does anyone have an idea why it wouldn't be appearing in the project?

How did you model what you are calling the "Toposolid" in this loadable Family? Also, what is the Category of this loadable Family?

This question is a little odd. There is no LOADABLE Family "Toposolid" Category. Toposolids are Project constructs.

Now, regarding the geometry you created in your loadable Family, there are a number of reasons why it might not be showing up in the Project environment.

One of these 33 may apply:

If you can't figure it out, then post your Family (rfa) here and we'll tell you why that family geometry isn't showing up in the Project.

See attached, does not seem to be one of the issues in the link you sent.

Interesting. I've never seen a Family Template with a Toposolid Host? I don't know how it's possible. I'm not even sure how you modeled and/or modified it. Or is the Toposolid a nested Family? Doesn't appear to be, but if it is, post that Family(rfa) here if you would please.

Regarding how to model this Toposolid in the Project Environment, I would Export it to DWG and then Insert the DWG (via Import CAD) into the Project and create a Toposolid from Import.

That's what I did here:
