FormIt AXM to Revit - Cross Sections not working withen revit

when I place or link a Formit object into Revit the object shows up in all cross sections regardless of which direction they are placed. I can’t even directly cut through the object it just shows the whole object. I’m using 2023 Revit & FormIt. Any suggestions? It works with any other CAD import with no issues.

The only way I was able to get it to work was to create a generic family then insert the FormIt AXM file. Then insert it into my project. The problem is that in the plan views there is less detail for the family object. Please see the video  and attached PDF (Note in the video I incorrectly mentioned ASM instead of AXM)

Thanks, Yes this will eliminate creating the family first process by the in-place option and the X-section works for this method as well. The problem is that it does not show the neccessary detail in plan view as shown below. The one on the left shows all the needed detail but cross sections do not work correctly. Thanks

I just figured it out............................... 

It was so obvious. One check box called "Enable Cutting In Views". Ugh!!!!

Thanks All for the help
