I able to do export closed curves in z axis for walls, But I got this error while exporting  curves on plan.

Lyrebird currently works with the expectation that each set of objects in a branch represents one revit element.  When creating a wall in elevation you can give it a closed curve because those represent one object, but in plan your closed curve creates a wall at each segment of the curve, so you'll need to explode the curve and graft it so that each curve is on its own.  Then you should be able to create the walls with the base curve.

Hi Tim, I just red your comment here, I had the same problem with Ezhil and I managed to sort it out but now, while I am following the steps that you describe above, I cannot create a simple wall! The result that I get is pretty weird (picture 2) and I also keep getting the another error (picture 3). Could you please help?

It's been a bit since I've dived into the code.  The error about the writing of entities of the schema in your last image is basically saying it can create the the elements, but can't store the information about them so it can be updated.  I believe it's a problem between the .ADDIN file that registers the lyrebird plugin inside of Revit (probably stored at %appdata%\Autodesk\Revit\Addins\201#) and what the code says it should be.  I had a bad habit of using different addin id's for stuff back then and this is probably a result of that.

As for the walls that get created in Revit looking messed up, my first thought is that it's a problem with different units.  Are the units in your Rhino document and Revit document the same?  Lyrebird assumes they would be the same and it looks like the Rhino units may be a larger unit than Revit, maybe meters in Rhino and millimeters in Revit?

Yes! thank you! Actually they were both in mm but the object was too small (5mm instead of 5m), because I had changed the units and, by mistake, I also scaled the object. 

About your first comment, do I have to do something, like change folders to some files? Or leave it be? 

Thanks again!
