Ex. I shifted the wall in the Revit, and re-export datasmith file to cover the old version. Then I clicked “reload” datasmith in Twinmotion. However, the changes did not show up properly - the wall the I shifted is in the air. Although if I deleted the wall in Revit and created a new one, then it shows up correctly in Twinmotion. Anyone has an answer to it or better solutions? (Same thing happens to other elements in Revit, such as railings, roofs, etc. It’s super annoying that I have to delete it every time or either import a new datasmith file to assign all the materials again in Twinmotion.)

Hello there and thank you for reaching out, can you please tell me which Revit version you are using and also the Datasmith plugin version? If you are not using the latest version I would strongly suggest that you download it from [here](https://www.twinmotion.com/en-US/plugins) . There’s also [this article](https://twinmotionhelp.epicgames.com/s/article/Geometry-collapse-options-on-import) that could be helpful.

Cheers
