hi

i've got a wall valve (not sure of my translation!! :p) that i need to insert in a family

the file is a step : unusable in revit

i convert it in DWG with ACAD

try to insert it in my family : i've got the notorious  message in the title

i converted to IFC with MEP

insert the file in revit

export to DWG

import this DWG to my family and... it works...

i can't explode my DWG in my family because there are some polymesh, body (i didn't know thatr kind of object in ACAD) but it works...

so many conversion for something with shloud be more easy...
