What I am trying to accomplish is to convert a heap of Autocad 3d models of fixtures into Revit. I import the 3d model dwg into a Family file. I select 'full explode' as I hope to re-use the existing geometry to create my family. Once the 'full explode' is activated I get an error 'Import contained 3D data or points which can't be exploded. Only 2D data was exploded.' Is there anyway around this?????

I think not. 3dmesh and 3dsolids from autocad (and even the one's that were done with sketchup) should not be exploded once import them to revit. You can only Move-Copy-Rotate-Array-Mirror-Scale.

So, in your opinion do you suggest tracing these models in Revit???? then dumping the Autocad data

If it's for schematics you can use them as they are, but not for Design Devt or Const Doc. because of their limitations. Tracing over them will help because you can pick corners and sides. I normally import 3d models (from acad or skp) as standalone objects or as backgrounds.
