Geometry that can't be exploded

Our team are working between Revit and Inventor on a curved ramp project. The architects (including me) are using Inventor to model the curved walls and ramps (because the geometry is too complex to be easily build-able in Revit), the Enginners are modeling the stepped concrete foundations in Revit. The Engineers want to import our Inventor file into their model, to take levels and dimensions from it. To do this currently, they are exploding it, which looses some of the geometry. The message pops up: 'Import contained some 3D data or points which can't be exploded.' and some curves disappear from view. 

 

Screen shots attached. 

 

Does anyone know, either a way to take levels or dims without exploding; an alternative method of importing (e.g. some kind of mass file that will allow all the geometry to be seen and measured); or some other helpful method that means we can work around this issue?

 

I am not a Revit user, my expertise is limited to opening or importing things, moving them around and following instructions. Both on 2018 software.

 

Any help gratefully received.

-No need to use Inventor for this.

-Use Floors, with Modified Sub-elements ( edited points ), or floor with slope arrow for the ramp.

-If the bottom surface also needs to be edited, use a Roof and modify sub-elements.

-The walls can then be attached to the floor or roof.

-Place footings on walls.

-As an alternative, you could also create a Mass and then use Roof by Face. But I do not think it is necessary and would introduce added complexity and no additional value.

Thank you for your reply. Could you please clarify if you are suggesting we re-build the model in Revit? Unfortunately this isn't an option. What we would like to know is if there is a method to dimension from the inventor model when it is imported into Revit, without exploding it and having some of the curves disappear. I'd be grateful if you could clarify.

-Yes--I am saying rebuild it in Revit. It is not that difficult, and you will have a more value-adding model. -May I ask, why is Inventor being used on an architectural scale project? -If it is purely because the team lacks Revit experience and is better at modeling in Inventor--this will cause major workflow problems on the project. -That said, there is an ADSK file format that might help you bring the Inventor file into Revit more successfully.

Thank you. We were advised to use Inventor over Revit because of the complexity of the geometry. The thing itself is not very big, nor does it have many parts, it simply has to be a very particular set of shapes which we, and those advising us couldn't get satisfactorily in Revit. The output for the whole project is still 2D information so the workflow shouldn't not be a problem in theory, importing into Revit is more of a help for the Engineers than necessity. Probably more of an answer than you needed! Anyway, thank you for you help, I will try the method you suggest.
