So I'm having a problem where I am making a repository from a structural model that was generated in Autodesk Revit and was using structural steel and analytics that were from AISC 6th Edition (ASD6) because of the age of the building. So the properties of the beams were changed to the beams that were used in AISC 6th Edition and other beams were generated that weren’t on Revit before. I can generate an .ism but the engineer I’m doing this for just keeps saying there is an error message and he can’t get it into STAAD. I already have both Structural Synchronizer and the ISM tool/add-in for Revit installed and using Revit 2016 and the engineer is using STAAD Pro v8i. I’ve already made four other repositories trying to do something different and nothing has worked. Not too sure on what else to do. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!
This is what the engineer sent me the error messages are attached and below.

No the engineer said that it isn't doing anything. His STAAD.Pro version was 20.07.11.82 we see the new update (20.07.11.90) we are talking to our IT to get that updated. The ism repository is attached also.
It should be downloaded through the fulfillment center. Here are the steps:
