Revit hates files over 200 MB. If your import is heavy, split the model:

Do not export .3dm to .dwg then to Revit. You will get "polyface meshes." Instead, keep it as .3dm or .sat .

For years, the standard method was simply exporting geometry from Rhino as a generic format (like DWG, DXF, or SAT) and importing it into Revit.

Whether you’re an architect, engineer, or designer, the bridge between Rhino’s flexible geometry and Revit’s rigorous BIM (Building Information Modeling) environment is one of the most critical workflows in modern AEC (Architecture, Engineering, and Construction).

In Revit, go to the Rhino.Inside tab and click "Open File." Load your .3dm file. It will appear as a linked reference inside Revit.

This method usually brings the geometry in as a "dumb" block. You can see it, but you can't easily change its parameters or schedule it as a native Revit wall or floor. 3. The Game Changer: Rhino.Inside.Revit
