That is the conversion rate between inches and mm.  I suspect your problems is the Rhino file and the Revit file are not using the same unit system.  Please make sure they both have the same units.

Why the 3d point which in revit can not be match the origin model in rhino?I found the component bug is  revit 304.8m = rhino 1m !

Brent - I added a new install package to my website if you want to give that a try.  This version doesn't use the RhinoCommon.dll so hopefully it will work more seamlessly for you.

Alright, I'll continue to play with it and let you know if anything changes.

Hey Brent,

I'm working on a better way to install this thing, the Revit API developers always have to make things more difficult than they should be.  It looks like everything is in the right place  You will also need to make sure all of the files are "unblocked".  The install batch file is supposed to do that for you, but I guess that's not working in your case.  To unblock a file you can right-click on it and go to Properties, then on the General tab you will see a button "Unblock" if the file is blocked.  If you don't see the button it is not blocked.  You have to do this for all the files.  Don't forget to restart Revit when you're finished.

This is where I have placed the rhinocommon file

C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Revit Architecture 2012\Program\RhinoCommon.dll

Yes, I'm running windows 7. Those files were already there but I copied over them with new ones to test and it still pulls the error. Could it have something to do with the rhinocommon.dll? I slavaged that file from my grasshopper plugin...

Hi Brent,

Assuming you're running Windows7, the Chameleon.addin file and the "Release" folder in the zip download should be placed in the following folder on your machine:

C:\Users\Hiroshi\AppData\Roaming\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\2012 

(replace Hiroshi with your username)  

Let me know if that doesn't work.

Hiroshi,

I'm having trouble getting this up and running. I'm getting the error you describe in the manual that can be fixed by putting the rhinocommon.dll in the same file as the revit.exe. I've place both ChameleonRVT.dll[given in the dowloaded zip file] and the rhinocommon.dll [pulled from my grasshopper plug-in] and it sill pulls the error.

Any suggestions? I'm anxious to get this running. I'm working with Revit2012 and have tried with rhino4 and 5

 

Thanks!
