RVT Exporter STL error - Ghost objects

I would like help to understand how to solve:
When generating STL file does it show objects or elements that do not belong to revit in the original project? Image:foto5.JPG

 

In red, an apparently lost object from my original project (in blue)

Thank you for the question @Marielen_!

 

My first thought would be that the unexpected objects seen in the STL do exist in the Revit project, but may not have been visible.

 

What have you done to confirm that the highlighted stair (from the provided image) was not in the Revit project? (The following help topic covers some things to check when: Objects Are Not Visible.)

Because I disabled all hidden modes, I found that this happens when I set the option "export in shared coordinates" (image), when I don't choose that option, that ladder does not appear.

Thank you for the update @Marielen_!

 

Can you attach a sample RVT, so that I can test the export on my system?

Hey, I resolved the issue, there was a link that was not appearing, but it was active.

 

Thank you for try!

Thank you for the update @Marielen_!

 

This is interesting, it sounds like the visibility for linked models is changing when the option to include linked models is turned on in the export to STL dialog.

Exact, but the structure was not complete, besides exporting to a completely different location. Thanks for note!
