Rhino Plugin

I got the following error trying the load the GBXML model from pollination in Rhino.
It was the Rhino example house model

Failed to load model: System.ArgumentException: Command:

Hi @mscott, can you share the exported gbXML file with us to try? It looks like there is an error in the content of the file.

Thank you! This was a bug that we fixed quickly after the release but I think you downloaded it before we push the fix. The gbXML file is an HBJSON file. :see_no_evil: If you downloaded the latest version of the Revit plugin this issue has been resolved.
