Receive Revit from Revit, nothing is created

Help
1

Hi guys,
I’m working on a project where we have to create rooms from another model as input. We use dynamo of course, but I’d like to migrate this task to Speckle.
The idea should be easy: Revit->Speckle->Revit
The objects are sent to the web app with no problem, but when I try to receive these rooms to another revit model, Speckle alerts me that the objects are created, but in real in the report section I received this message

What am I wrong?

Can you share how these rooms are being created? From the error message it looks like some names are duplicated?

Sure. I’ll send you a message! I saw the error message about the name, but I did not figure out, because rooms usually can have the same name

Ciao Luca,

Thanks for sending me a sample model! I’ve done a few tests on my end:

  • room names don’t need to be unique, you were correct here!
  • I got rooms to send & receive fine in a simpler set up
  • I got an error similar to yours when I had unplaced rooms. The message is deceiving, but essentially the script fails as it tries to create a room in a null location

I would suggest to remove any unplaced room from your document (maybe with dynamo or with a schedule) and to try again - let me know how it goes!

PS
Btw, why do you need to do this? I’m curious to know more and see if there are better workflows…

Thanks Matteo. Basically I’m working on a project where the layout comes from another firm. the rooms with a certain numbers of parameters are in this layout model.
Instead to create and replicate them in our model through Revit, my first idea was use Speckle until I discover the layout had wrong elevation levels, and the rooms were not created in our model.
For this reason I moved the process to dynamo, where I was able to create them floor by floor.
Now that the levels are aligned between models, I’d really like to go back in Speckle to do this activity.
I love Speckle and use it to transfer different objects to differents software in my dailywork, and as a member of R&D team I’m pushing to introduce it in our workflow.
Btw, have I to delete unplaced rooms before to send in Speckle? In this way I can use filter mode selction of Speckle

Thanks!
Yes correct, you should delete the rooms before sending them to Speckle.
