The reason for the exception is that the family document does not have the ProjectInformation property, which is a small problem that can be easily fixed. see https://github.com/specklesystems/speckle-sharp/pull/1945.

However, CombinableElement(Form/Extrusion/…) from a family document doesn’t have a category property, which the current sending logic requires element to have.

Do you think it’s necessary to support sending objects in family documents?

Oh I see, sorry I confused sending with receiving! When sending, elements that do not have a direct conversion (like extrusions in this case) should just be sent as meshes, I guess something is failing in the conversion, we’ll look into it 😃
