AutoCAD 3D object

[jesse.71694]

Dear All,

I try to use the AutoCAD 3D object in DWG file and import it to Revit. But I can't see these 3D object.

1. Does Revit accept the AutoCAD 3D object?
2. If Revit only accept 3d faces, is there any way to change AutoCAD 3D object to 3D faces?

Revit will accept Acad 3d objects - You cannot explode the object in Revit though. From the Revit Help file:

If you import a drawing into a 3D view, you see that drawing in all views. Autodesk Revit recommends that to see imported 3D geometry in all views, you import the drawing into a 3D view.

Perhaps you're attempting to import in an inappropriate view.....

It is currently not possible to import AutoCAD 3D solids (shape manager or "ACIS" solids).
You can use AutoCAD to export the solids to 3DS format and then re-import them in AutoCAD. This will convert the 3D solids into 3D faces which Revit will be able to import. The "conversion" of the 3D solids to 3D faces is not lossless.
