Convert 3D dwg file to Revit corresponding structural objects

I have 3D file where each object is defined as polymesh in the file, I want to create corresponding structural or architectural objects in Revit, importing the whole model definitely works but Revit imports them as block model where I'm not being able to split for each element where I can modify.

Please see the attached file,  each obect can be represented as I, C, U or any other common structural shape, what I know for sure which can help to convert those objects is, each object has the beginning and coordinates to modify, even the surface can be extracted from that in dwg file. 

 

So my question is, what is the technique( dynamo script , REvit intrinsic feature) to convert those objects into Revit obejcts

hi @sonyablade2010 

Hello
First open a generice model family environment
Import the 3D AutoCAD file
If the 3D AutoCAD file was made with standard tools like extruison or similar
You can select it and explode
It will be converted to editable geometry
Otherwise the 3D model will be deleted in the next exploded view

I already tried that but Revit says that on console, 

-> Import contained some 3D data or points which can't be exploded.

 

So this option doesn't work, do you suggest to go with dynmo and handle each object individually to extract data manually ?

Since the shape can be generic universal C,U, H RHS,CHS end points extraction can be tedious work, also if the end point generalization may become diffcult if I add column, brace, beams etc. handling mechanism to that equation.
