Within the Line Graphics dialogue, select the desired weight, colour and pattern. Transform Your Revit Models to AutoCAD Drawings.Note: DWG layers are translated to Revit Categories. Select the appropriate categories and click Override.Ĭlick on the DWG Plus (+) button to expand the Categories. Within the Visibility/Graphics Overrides dialogue, navigate to the Imported Categories tab.From the View select Properties > Graphics > Visibility/Graphics Overrides click Edit.
Save it and perform the steps above again. Remove any unnecessary lines, hatching, annotation and blocks and then perform a purge and audit of the file. Note: If the DWG is not visible in the view then reopen the DWG in AutoCAD, ensure that all layers are visible and unfreeze any if required. The DWG will be linked into the Revit file.Note: Only use the Current View option if you have no intentions of viewing the DWG in other views. From the Link CAD Formats dialogue, select the DWG.From the Ribbon, click Insert > Link CAD.Open Revit and select the desired View you wish to link the DWG into.
Youll see some OLD versions of Revit, but the concepts are still the same.As an aside, is that a Tanger outlet by chance? Looks sort of similar to the one built recently in Southaven MS.Linking DWGs is appropriate where external consultant information must be incorporated into drawings produced from Revit.Īll external CAD references should be Linked, never Loaded. Some of the images were done as multiple files, some were done as single files. Its horrible to work with.īUT, yeah: If you are planning on actually having plans and details and revisions that are "just building 1" than sure. And if you have one set of plans with items from multiple buildings and sites in all sectors. The 7 arch files, and the one site model. Yeah, i get and understand the concept: 7 buildings = 8 files. Doing a mall like THAT in multiple files, ABSOLUTELY blows. So we would have "buildings" that were definitely their own structures, but the entire complex itself was broken in to "sectors" and any sector may have parts of various buildings, AND the concourses in between, in that sector. There was just as much stuff going on in the concourses between the buildings: Kiosks, paver design and layout, signage, Canopys, Seating, wayfinding.
If they are expecting "completely different permit sets / packages" as in: Building A is an ENTIRE set of drawings (with details, and its own revisions, and job numbers, and drawing list) i will go with multiple files, for sure.īut when i do large format Retail Centers, it tends to not be formatted the way "multiple buildings" are. If they are expecting "one set" at the end (one bound set, one sheet list tracking revisions, one set of details, with multiple plans) i definitely go *single file.* From the client and municipality, mind you. As i mentioned earlier in the thread, i tend to lean in one direction or the other, DEPENDING on what the projects requirements are. The export process to DWG and DWF is configurable and some time should be spared to adjust. And they both have *different* drawbacks, so it really is choosing which nasty things you need to deal with. Revit allows documentation to be delivered in different file formats, according to the client’s demand. I spent a number of years doing large format Shopping Centers (multiple buildings), and I've done them both ways. There are definitely Pros and Cons to both methods.
