Not sure if solids from r12 were 'different' than in later releases. True,
Revit cannot translate AutoCAD solids, only 3D faces. To convert to
something Revit can read, from AutoCAD, run the 3DSOUT command, then open
a
new file in AutoCAD, and im****t the 3DS file, then save as a DWG. Now
im****t into Revit. This process converts the solids to Faces.
