If you don't explode, how do you control the hatch patterns that all come in as solids and the text styles, that all come in as "romans" as well as other odditites. Our rule here is that if you want to explode CAD, you must do it in a cleanup project where you modify everything to your standard elements then you copy / paste into your project.įri, at 2:45:36 PM | import autocad sheet to revit You sometimes had to scroll down through all 100+ patterns to find what you needed!

I deleted over 100 hatch patterns in a file where someone did not follow our rule. But exploding CAD in your project is very BAD!Īfter exploding CAD, Revit creates a new types for Lines, hatches, text etc named per each CAD file. I have many posts here about CAD inserts. any way to make the text come in without it being a different new style at every insert?įri, at 2:34:53 PM | import autocad sheet to revit Just remember to use the this view only.įri, at 2:13:54 PM | import autocad sheet to revit AND - Model views like detail ones have a crop window! any way around that?įri, at 2:05:28 PM | import autocad sheet to revitĭoesn't have to be drafting views! Detail views (or any model view) can be created with all model elements off. Also has the annoying habit of creating new text style for every each view, even tho its the same source text style in acad. I understand the import individual drafting view process, time consuming with lots of cleanup but workable. The hope was that revit could import as smart as it exports (creating multiple paperspace veiws and xrefs into those views). You do understand that CAD can be brought into any view and be only in that view "Import into this view only" option checked.įri, at 1:39:27 PM | import autocad sheet to revit Otherwise you need to create each view with a CAD import and place those on a sheet. Do you mean a sheet with multiple views? If so you will have to use an image. We do bring the whole drawing into Revit. But assuming the autocad stuff is all cropped, there is no way to just bring the whole drawing into Revit?įri, at 1:28:45 PM | import autocad sheet to revit

The HELP may answer part of your question:įri, at 11:24:40 AM | import autocad sheet to revit That is why we only import CAD that is cleaned up and wblocked into a smaller file. Thu, at 9:18:20 PM | import autocad sheet to revitīe careful - you can not crop drafting views.
