Problem : Linking Civil 3D Pressure Network into Revit

Hello,

 

I'm having trouble linking my Civil 3D dwg into Revit. I'm hoping to receive some help.The dwg contains Presure Network parts (already exploded into Block References or 3D Solids)

I have tried all sorts of tricks :

-CONVERTTO3DSOLIDS

-EXPORTTOAUTOCAD

-PURGE

-EXPLODE and WBLOCK

-SETBYLAYER

-OVERKILL

-PROXYGRAPHICS=1

 

After Exploding in Civil 3D, I'm left with elbows as block references, and the pipes as 3DSolids.

However, when linking the CAD into Revit, I only see the elbows (custom made and added to the Content Catalog).

 

I get this message once doing Link CAD :

Revit cannot import some of the geometry.
This result can be caused by various issues with the source file.Adjust the geometry in the file and try the import process again.

 

I not only have trouble linking my drawing with the exploded Pressure Network. Any drawing with 3D Solids from Civil 3D will have problems in Revit. Not all the 3D Solids are visible once inserted.

 

Anyone have any clues on how to successfully link a cad with exploded Pressure Networks from Civil 3D?

Civil 3D and Revit don't work very well together...unless you have 2019 and are working on a BIM360 project you can export the topography to Revit.

 

Essentially, you need to export it out without the data to standard DWG so you can open it in Vanilla Autocad. If visible there you should be able to see it in Revit....but....you will see the entire DWG when you cut a section or elevation.

Once you have the network parts as 3D solids you can use the EXPORT command to export selected objects to fbx.  I am then able to bring the fbx into navisworks.  I am not sure if you can bring the fbx into Revit, but for clash detection, you can use Navisworks to see both Revit and civil 3d (although the civil 3d parts are no longer dynamic) together.  Shared reference coordinates are a must for this to work well. 
This might not help you out, but perhaps it will give someone else an idea.   

The Revit/Civil 3D struggle is definitely real and doesn't look to be making major improvements anytime soon.  Just more forcing all users into the cloud. 

Best of luck to you.

This is a serious interoperability problem that not addressed by Autodesk. Various posts suggest different workflows and in many cases non of them works. Not a single post from Autodesk would give an accurate step by step workflow considering variations of program versions and modelled objects. In my case "pressure pipes" (in R20) did converted to proxy objects but "pipes" did not. Go figure... On top of it linked Civil 3D files does not respect Revit section cut depth clipping when linked directly to Revit. I know about almost every single trick of how linking can be done (mass family insert, in place family insert, ifc, ifc to Navisworks to Revit, "EXPORTTOAUTOCAD" command, W-block, 3dm, .... etc.) but these workflows ether not working or works on some parts of utilities network but not on the other. I am not a Civil 3D expert at all but I have to install Civil 3D on my machine to test different combinations. Only "EXPORTTOAUTOCAD" command (Civil 3D 2022) have many flavors for different versions of AutoCAD, it is unknown how it will effect linking to Revit. Autodesk if you are reading -  why this have to be so complicated? People are wasting days to solve this problem.

We've noted the same issue.

 

A work around we had to do was to extrude a new solid and replace the section of pipe we were interested in.  A bit messy but it turned out somewhat workable for our modelling work.

 

Autodesk needs to look into this and make it dynamic.
