Export solids from Robot to Revit

When I try to export the model I made in Robot to Revit following these instructions:
Is it possible to export bar model as solids from Robot Structural Analysis
The elements in Revit appear to me in lines and not in solids like in the image bellow, does anyone know how to solve this? My goal is to export the solids to Autocad.

Hi @john.bb 

If you are using version 2023 or 2024 please refer to the following article. Particularly attached video can be usefull.

Thanks for the answer.
I'm working in Revit and Robot 2024, but if I follow the steps indicated when selecting the elements to convert from analytical to physical, this appears

and does not convert anything, if I click on view dependencies it gives me this message

Try using latest version of RSA and Revit which is 2024 and make sure you loaded required steel framing libraries before transferring to model from RSA to Revit. If you did not load required libraries in Revit, imported RSA analytical model cannot be converted to physical model.

I'm using the latest version of Robot and Revit 2024 and I also installed "UK English Content v1 for Revit 2024" and "International English - EURO Content for Revit 2024", but I'm getting the same message.
I'm sure I'm missing something, but I don't know what...

I was doing it like you did in the video... but this time I did the same thing again as shown in the video and it worked. I really don't know what I was doing wrong. Thank you very much.

Hi,

regarding this topic I have two problems when exporting the solid model from Robot to Revit:

 - Bars don't reach the nodes, they appear cut before intersecting with other bar. I'd need that the bars would have their theoretical length from node to node (see pintura below)

 - Solid bars appear with no round shape. I know, actually, Robot neither shows the real section of bars, but, could it be possible to show the rounding radius? (This would be a minor issue)

Many thanks in advance!

Jorge
