Hello, 

I am trying to create a fairly simple frame system using the Frame Generator extension but I receive an error message each time. The error message is "Line length is too small for Revit tolerance. Parameter : end point." I have set the Project units in meters/cm, I have tried changing the sections of the elements. Nothing helps. The frame structure is quite simple, with 4 bays and 6 openings on the transversal direction. I am attaching attach the 2 frames I have done.

Thank you in advance.

I don't know if this is the problem but Revit does not allow pieces less than 1.8/1.6 mm, maybe this is the issue...

Thanks for the reply. I have no piece smaller than 1.6mm. I am starting to believe that it is an issue (some form of bug maybe) with the frame generator. I've managed to build the frame in Robot with the frame generator and it works just fine.

This is not a units issue - it is your geometry.  You need to take a better look at how you describe it.
