Thanks for the explanation Jeremy... Now Autodesk has some interesting and important additions for their next Revit release... I am looking forward already ;-)

Dear Henrik,

Thank you for the appreciation. I do not think that the development team have been convinced yet that anything needs changing, though.

Cheers, Jeremy.

I do hope they come up with some way to achieve smaller objects. It's especially frustrating when working with annotation objects which get scaled automatically. Try to have some kind of detail when working on a scale of 1/200!! It's impossible.

Sorry to comment so long after the fact, but you came up on a Google search so...

What do you know about specifying a length of zero? I have a family involving a variable number of tieback elements that I'd like to be able to schedule the length of. Visibility is no issue, I can make the tiebacks not used on a particular element invisible, but the smallest I can set their length to is 1", less leads to a "can't create type" error. In larger projects this can lead to significant extra tieback length on our schedules. Any thoughts?

Dear Arlo,

The late comment is no problem at all, don't worry.

Yes, I am sorry about this minimum length dimension limit imposed by Revit. As you saw above, this restriction is causing significant problems for others as well. There may well be objects used in buildings that really do need to be modelled accurately with dimensions below this limit. Unfortunately, you will have to make do with some workaround such as letting them appear larger than they really are. Sorry for that.

Cheers, Jeremy.

System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added.

at NavisWorks9.LcRevitExportCommand.Execute(Application application, String& message, ElementSet element_errors)

Im getting these errors when exporting from Revit 2012 products to .nwc files
Any ideas?

Dear Scott,

No, sorry, no idea, I have not worked on Navisworks export myself.

Please let us know how you resolve this. Thank you!

Cheers, Jeremy.
