Autodesk Forma - Revit Connectivity

I have been using the Autodesk Forma version and been trying to import the Autodesk Forma model to Revit. I am using Revit 2023 and followed the instructions here (https://help.spacemaker.ai/en/articles/6984724-revit-interoperability-in-next-gen-projects-beta) but have so far been unsuccessful. Most of the time I get an error message in revit saying that it has not worked and the team has been notified. On the rare occasion that it "works" no geometry is imported into Revit. I turned on all the categories, all the workset, but have not been able to find any geometry. 

Is this a know issue with Autodesk Forma or am I an outlier?

Hi, thanks so much for posting the question. Yes, there is an issue we have found in the addin and the team is working on a solution as we speak. 
One question for you: do you have both the Spacemaker "Classic" and the Spacemaker Next-Gen addin installed?

Yes, I do have both classic and Next Gen installed. Although, I have been trying to use the add-in from the massing & site tab. I actually don't even see the classic SpaceMaker tab in my versions (2021-2023) of Revit anymore.

Thanks. Some initial tests made us think there might be a problem with side-by-side installations of Classic and Next-Gen, but it's not the case. Still working on a solution. Thanks for your patience, we'll get this back working again as soon as possible.

OK, we have a fix/update! We have a 0.7.7 update that can be downloaded from either inside of Spacemaker Next-Gen or directly from this link. Will have a more full rundown of what's in it to follow, but this should unblock you

The update appears to have worked and I am able to get my geometry into Revit (Tested on Revit 2023). Now that I am able to use the tool, I have some additional feedback but I will submit that under the "Submit Feedback" section of the Revit Add-on.
