Import geometry not visible

[Anonymous]

None of the created elements are visible in Floor Plan: Level 1 View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings, as well as any Plan Regions and their settings.

how can solve this ?

Try uncrop the view, import or link with center to center option.

Hi @Anonymous

I see that you are visiting as a new member. Welcome to the Autodesk Community! 

Reasons for imported geometry not visible:

• It looks like your imported model is too far away from the revit model to show up in that view.
• It could also mean the view category that the imported model is in is turned off in your current view.

Default settings:

Auto - Origin to Origin is the default positioning when you insert a Revit model or CAD file. If the import object has been drawn at a large distance from its origin,it may display at a large distance from the model. To test the distance, set the zoom to Zoom View to Fit.

Solution:

• You can try changing the default positioning by the Auto - Center to Center option where Revit places the imported model at the center of the Revit model.(The center of a model is calculated by finding the center of a bounding box around the model.)
• To make the center point visible in the current view, set the zoom to Zoom View to Fit. This centers the view on the Revit model.
• Turn off the view clipping before linking.Turn off crop regions and section boxes if any.
• Try flipping to your standard 3D view after linking the model to see if it's visible there.

You can also try placing the imported geometry according to its position with respect to the shared coordinates between the 2 files.

Hi, 

I have encountered this problem where the geometry imported is not visible. Do you have any solution on this?

Thanks!

1. check the units of link / import example : meters

2. while importing/linking, use the same units : meters

3. go to VG, Revit link, Graphics Settings, by linked view.. and select the Level which you want to see..

4. once you find the linked revit, cut a section through it, and fix alignment in elevation..

best luck..

Hi @Anonymous

Can you share the files and diagnostic data for further investigation?

I can send you a private upload folder.

I have tried all the above solutions but none of them worked, could you help me please?

Hello

in Plan, Switch on " MASS" in model category...

Since I did not see my solution here I thought I would post it. 

I went into AutoCAD and did a Flatten on ALL. 

I set the UCS to World. 

I moved the entire entities from one endpoint to 0,0,0. 

Purged the file. 

Saved the file. 

My import worked like a charm in Revit 2020 after that.

Glad it worked for you.

However, that method does not work for site drawings with topography/survey point information, or any drawings that have 3D geometry that need to be shown in Revit.

[donnia.tabor-hanson]

So what method do you use?

Change the display setting to 'By Link View' in the Imported category under the Visibility graphic view.
