I am trying import Fabrication CADmep content into Revit but I am having some difficulties, I have a Ductwork CADmep Model and a separate Electrical Containment and Piping Model that both use different databases. I have the DWG’s and both separate databases.
A supplier/subcontractor has produced these drawings for us and has issued us the databases so we can perform an MAJ Import into Revit, one company has produced the Ductwork Model and the other Company the Mechanical and Piping Model.
My first issue is when I am opening the DWG’s on my end in Fabrication CADmep, I am getting the ‘This Drawing contains a Database that is different from the Working Disk Database’ error yet I can’t find any difference in the copy of the database I have to the suppliers/subcontractors copies, GUID is the same.
And when I Import the MAJ into Revit that I have generated from the DWG, I am greeted with the ‘This Job Contains No Fabrication Parts error, I have tried opening MAJ through Openjob and overwriting the GUID and doing SaveDatabaseToDisk, that lets me import the MAJ but within Revit the Fab parts are missing fittings and are not connected properly and some lengths of straight runs are different, it doesn’t reflect the CADmep Model.
The two companies I am working with both have Revit they have tried exporting an MAJ but when this in imported into Revit on their end they are greeted with the ‘This Job Contains No Fabrication Parts’
How can I get around this? I need to get the CADmep content into Revit.
Thanks
