I wonder if someone have similar problem importing Cad drawing. I have Land Survey in Cad with 3d points, it fails to import to Revit 2010-have a message that REVIT can't import, because it will create Revit model that is larger than 2 miles accross...etc etc. I have tied to import few different projects surveys and none of my sites are larger than 2 miles. I have no problem with importing them in Revit 2009-the message is that some numerical data is trancated and it imports without a problem. I tried to delete all my layers in cad xcept levels and import-no luck, I moved UCS as a surveyer's dwg was to MGA grid 0,0,0 -no luck, I can't think of anything else. Is there a bug? Thanks

There have been a few threads on this subject. Try the following: Reduce the physical size of the CAD drawing to that required for the site - zoom into the drawing to ensure that there are no objects far from the origin. Move the UCS to the centre of the drawing. It would appear that you only need this for the toposurface, so you won't need to co-ordinate it with the cad drawing.

thanks Tim Tried all suggested above earlier same result, unfortunately I can't move UCS to the center as i use few cad drawings attached with origin point usually datum or corner of the site. So at the moment i am importing my Cad drawings into 2009 to build topo...not good enough....also find the transition to a new interface painful (just a whimper..)

Is the surveyor's drawing really in inches which Revit sees as feet.

Surveyors drawing comes in meters, I scaled it up x1000 to convert it in mm. and set units to millimeters so it was imported in mm. (I tried both automatic unit detection and mm. setting in Revit). Actually I managed to import one Survey when I deleted Cad layer with Cad 3D triangulations, it did not help other Surveys though. I tried to W-block Cad Survey, trying to get rid of junk it may have, but no success.

the major and minor contour lines should be selectable boxes during the create toposurface from Imported 3D data, when the dialog box opens I select only the major and minor contour lines. Hope this helps, Steve
