Hi All:
I am in the process of converting / exporting my model to AutoCad for use by consultants who do not use Revit. When I do this, I lose my grids in the CAD drawings.
Is there a setting that keeps them intact as I export, or do i have to re-draw them each time per floor level?
Thanks - hope someone else shares my pain.
BS

I wish I had an answer but we are also having a problem where our metal stud detail component is not coming into our cad imports. We set up a layer export file to get the wright colors into cad but the lines still come in how ever they want to for wall sections and like i mentioned, the studs are not visable at all. Hopefully someone out there knows how to fix this. Thank you.

BIGSTEIN, Don't know what your problem is because we don't have any problems like this, our column lines come in on S-Grid. Are you using the standard translation file provided with REVIT? HENCE, I don't understand your post. Are you exporting to cad or importing? You say export but then you say come in. Please restate your question.

Ok, i don't know why it worked, but i deleted the detail components in revit and re-placed them in revit, then exported to cad and some how everything came in to cad just fine. I guess that it is just another growing pain of the switch over to BIM. I really can't wait for the day i can take cad off of my computer entierly.

It might have something to do with drawing order. Curently detail components have a drawing order that cannot be modified. The components order depends on when they were placed. It may be that your component was behind something else, after you reinsert it then its on top.... Why there is a drawing order that you cant adjust I dont know. HTH Nick

You acctually can adjust the draw order of the detail component and i tried to adjust the draw order. I even placed it ontop, but instead of drawing the element it just left a blank spot where it should be. The only thing that worked was re creating it, even cuting and pasting in the same view did not work. Go figure. Thanks for the thought though.

THIS SOMETIMES OCCURS WHEN THE DETAIL COMPONENT WAS COPPIED AS OPPOSED TO PLACED.
