When I try to import my Revit fbx file, it will import it but the item turns invisible.

It shows up in the "Scene" items list. But it imports as invisible. I'm using both Revit 2022 and TM 2022.

Hello

Thank you for posting in the community and currently the best workflow would be to use the Datasmith exporter plugin with the direct-link method or the udatasmith file format. Below are several links to help with understanding the workflows.

Hope this helps and if you think there is a bug with the FBX import you can submit a bug using this link:

Hi I have this issue also. I need to import from an external file, not the main source file. It shows up in my layer stack and the navigator gizmo is active however object is transparent. Tried every possible file type. Curious to see how you went with this?

After some issues, i've managed to have success with the datasmith method, by pulling objects into TM via TM datasmith import option. However I had to rebuild my TM lighting, materials etc if file was done via the direct link legacy option. The model imports in a completely new position within TM, and the transform navigator is all over the place (easily adjusted with latest version).
