doors import problem

I just can't import doors into Revit 2015. I have ~700 doors that I want to add to Revit walls. Walls imported fine, but when importing doors, it just creates nothing. I have tried latest December version with no results. Family like table imports fine in same places where doors should be.

Atis, unfortunately this is a limitation on the Revit side of Hummingbird. You cannot place families that are "hosted" (a door is hosted in a wall.) You could create some doors that were not hosted but that wouldn't be very useful in Revit. The only workaround I can suggest is to place some sort of dummy families to get the locations and then manually place the doors by snapping to their insertion points. Sorry it's not a better answer. I'll think about adding the functionality but it will be fairly complicated to do so. Mario
