File started in Revit - brought into CAD for development and now wish to convert DWG back in to Revit. When I load file into Revit I cannot perform partial explode. File is one large DWG. I have attemped to explode file in CAD prior to bringing it in. thanks P

My first question would be why are you tryint to explode the dwg in Revit? It's pretty much always a bad idea, and creates more issues than it solves.

Ditto. Explode DWG = BAD Is it a 3D DWG file? Best to leave it unexploded and trace it or use pick tool.

I was under the impression that a cad file once brought in should be partially exploded so that the lines can be given a line weight in Revit. As long as there is no block this allows for a crossing select and easier shifting of the laters. yes, the plan is 3d thanks - anything additional is appreciated. P

If you are working in Revit, stay in Revit, is my opinion. Going back and forth is really not a good idea. You can draw lines in Revit if you don't want to model everything.

You don't need to explode the dwg to assign lineweights/styles. Go to the "Imported Objects" tab in Object Styles and you can adjust each layer in the dwg.
