No Families Error Message

I am trying to use a grid of points to establish a light fixture pattern. When I double click on the Lyrebird node I get the following error message.

Error

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

at LMNA.Lyrebird.GH.SetRevitDataForm..ctor(LyrebirdChannel c, GHCLient p)

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

Do you have the lyrebird server turned on in Revit? It defaults to the off position so it doesn't use resources unnecessarily.

Hi, Similar problem. When I set GH component to Revit 2015 and double click it opent the dialog window but it look like it cannot see the Families - it says Error next to DropDown list for family name.

Anyone?

Thnx.

I am having the same issue here. I am still on Revit 2014 though. It worked just fine up until i updated to latest version of lyrebird, now I can't do anything.

Anyone?

For some reason it's not able to communicate with Revit. If the lyrebird server is turned on and the GH component is set to the correct version of Revit then I may need to see if there's a problem with permissions happening. I'm traveling all week for work so I don't know if I'll be able to look into it until next week.

I don't know if this matters but when I open a new Revit Project, and run Lyrebird all of a sudden there is no error. Everything works. Is there a limit on how many families its able to query? I thought it was the server time-out issue - that when set to 200ms it did not have enough time to pull up all families before it timed out. I tried changing that to 2000ms, but no luck. For now I just moved some critical families to a new project, I will test there and then run final imports later when issue resolves.

Have fun at AU!

me 2, installed 1.10 just then,now I have the same issue, and also the family names in grasshopper doesn't match the names in Revit 2014, so I can't create anything. :(
