I wouldn't start a family from scratch using AutoCAD, but if the AutoCAD geometry exists then it is perfectly acceptable to re-use it in a non-parametric Revit family. Most of the Revit web library from Autodesk itself uses this technique. Tom

Unfortunately when i just import it as a CAD drawing it appears solid black in plan becuase of all of the contour lines. Is there a way to convert it to a Revit family or Sketch-up file?

This is most likely the fastest solution but not the sexiest. ----------------------------------- I like scooters. and motorcycles.
