Cannot Create a Valid 3D View

Cannot create a valid 3D view. The project does not contain visible geometries.

Cannot create a valid 3D view. The project does not contain visible geometries.

This error appears when the importer created a default 3D view but found no drawable elements in any phase or view. This could be because all elements were hidden, filtered out, or otherwise not in your model. When this happens, open the file in Revit and confirm at least one 3D view contains visible geometry. Also check view filters and phase settings for hidden geometry. After confirming you have visible geometry, save your file and retry the import.
