Problem importing DWG file in REVIT: block units initial problem

I want to change the units of multiple blocks at the same time. I'm working on a project which requires our models to be imported into revit. The problem is our AutoCAD model consists of multiple blocks set to different units and when they import into Revit they explode all over the place.

 

I can go into each individual block and change the units, but this is tedious and time consuming.

 

I'm able to filter blocks by units using QSELECT, but once filtered, I want to change the units of multiple blocks

@jlachapelle8B5VQ ,

 

Take a look at this link: CHANGE BLOCK UNITS - Free Lisp

 

APPLOAD  to load the blockunits.lsp

 

Type: BLOCKUNITS or BUNITS at the Command Line

Exactly what I asked for!

 

Unfortunately it didn't solve my problem, so I have some more digging to do. But thank you so much for the reply!

@jlachapelle8B5VQ Nothing wrong in your posted file when I select it all

Correct. I used the LISP routine above to fix the block units. The file still does not insert into Revit properly though.

You'll need to move the discussion over to the REVIT forum (inlcude your DWG file) then and ask the REVIT peers for additional guidance, here is the link https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-products/ct-p/2003
