Dissapearing walls, when sending the model from Revit to Robot

Anonymous — Sun, 16 Jul 2017 12:09:35 GMT

Hello gentleman,

I am a newbie with Robot, so be easy on me lol

I did a model in Revit, ( structure concrete ), no steel structure at all,

And yes some columns do have errors which i have to fix yet, but my question is the plan and simple concrete floor ,

Any advice what to do inside of Robots ?

or is it options before sending ?

Attached screen shots showing, floors from fort floor till the 12th doeskin appear in Robot !

any help would be appreciated, but please, easy when you explain to me lol

Ok, i took the model to Navisworks, to test it , and the same floors didn't appear, so i am guessing something is wrong with those floor, ( even tho i made sure i created them as Structure Floor and they have the option of (Structural) on.

Hi @Anonymous

Assuming it is the same for a single floor from your model could you attach such Revit file?

Hello @Artur.Kosakowski

I will upload both files if you want, the revit and the Robot one, but i am still trying to figure why those specific floors dont show in Revit Analytical model too ! but i am not at the office at the moment, so as soon as i am at the office i will upload it and tag your name so you get an email, thank you sir

Hi @Anonymous

In Revit File be sure that this wall are structural walls and they have analytical system then for sure it will be transfer to Robot.

Hello everyone

I found the solution why they weren't showing in Revit Analytical nither in Robot,

The reason was , when i designed the slab i drew the openings of the slab with the same floor creation tool, Picture available,

instead i deleted them as shown, and i use the Revit Shaft opening option, and it worked,

So i am guessing , Robot has something to do with the floor creation method, and it does understand the ( Shaft ) opening better than the normal old fashion way,

Hi @BenzyMH

Thank you for posting the solution. Indeed if you can't see an object in Revit Analytical model display it will not be transferred to Robot too.
