Plant Shades Not Exporting

I’ve selected on the plants that I want to export from Revit, but Pollination isn’t exporting all of them in the snapshot (25 of 49 selected). I’m running Revit 2025.4.2 and Pollination 2.283.6.0.


Hi @mdouglass, thank you for sharing this.

What happens if you try the “Add Shades” option to select one of the specific ones? Could it be that they are too small and they get ignored because the surface area is smaller than the threshold? I would try to set the area threshold filter to 0.

Hey @mostapha, I’ve tried manually selecting all the plants, and it randomly excludes some.



01 Revit Selection Set - This image displays the elements selected after I selected all context shades in Export Shades, right clicked, and clicked Select.

02 Add Shades - This image displays the elements I had previously selected to be included as shades. There’s one additional element in the top grouping that’s included in this set that doesn’t get selecting after the steps taken above.

03 After Add Shades - I added more elements to my selection, repeated the steps from 01 and this was the resulting selection set. 7 elements at the top of the image are no longer selected or included in the model preview.

Thank you, @mdouglass for documenting this in details. I don’t know what might be happening? @ksobon, any idea what might be happening here?

Is it possible for you to send me the model for testing?

I copied the trees out of the source model and pasted in a blank, new project using an OOTB template. I was able to recreate the same behavior using the new model. Here’s a OneDrive link to the new model.

Hi @mdouglass, I can recreate the error. I will document it, and we will get back to you once we have a fix. Thank you for sharing the file.
