Comment by Hiroshi Jacobs on May 4, 2012 at 7:33am: Hmm, Yeah you're right. Units are not being converted properly in Revit. I will have to dig through the Revit API to find out why it's automatically converting the units to feet. thanks!

In the meantime, if you use feet as your Rhino unit, or at least convert the numbers to feet in grasshopper you should be fine I think.

Comment by first1 on May 4, 2012 at 7:17am: yes,they have the same units(mm).

Comment by Hiroshi Jacobs on May 4, 2012 at 7:15am: That is the conversion rate between inches and mm. I suspect your problems is the Rhino file and the Revit file are not using the same unit system. Please make sure they both have the same units.

Comment by first1 on May 4, 2012 at 3:57am: Why the 3d point which in revit can not be match the origin model in rhino?I found the component bug is revit 304.8m = rhino 1m !

Comment by first1 on May 4, 2012 at 12:52am: good job!

Comment by Hiroshi Jacobs on May 3, 2012 at 11:59am: Brent - I added a new install package to my website if you want to give that a try. This version doesn't use the RhinoCommon.dll so hopefully it will work more seamlessly for you.
