revit styler does not rotate correct

Hi,

I am having difficulties using the revit styler. I am feeding it 50 point features which get their own individual rotation value. But when I check the objects in revit, the rotation is slightly off. Sometimes by 20 degrees sometimes more. When i compare the correct angle in revit and compare it to the value i have in FME, I can see that they are correct but something is happening either when I use the revit styler or the writer that messes upp the rotation. I am rotating around the axis x= 0, y=0, Z=1. Any ideas why it is behaving like that? Am i missing some setting somewhere? Thanks for all advice!

Thanks for your question ​@bberlin, it looks like you submitted a support ticket about this as well. For anyone else coming across this in the future, I will summarize the issue below. 

 

The RevitStyler displays rotation values in degrees, but the Revit Writer incorrectly interprets the oriented points it creates as radians which is causing rotations to come out wrong. The issue lies in the Revit Writer's handling of those oriented points, not the RevitStyler itself.

The good news is that this has been logged with the development team (reference: FMEENGINE-89119). In the meantime, you can work around it by using the radian value directly. Once the fix is available in an updated version of FME, upgrading should resolve the problem entirely.

Hope that helps clarify things, and apologies for the inconvenience in the meantime!
