do you see how i've started to build this

model by tracing the floor?

but without being able to cut this wireframe

into sections- tracing many of the parts

becomes impossible.. THERE HAS TO BE

A WAY TO BUILD ON THIS..

 

also it would be nice if the elements

you built on this wireframe could be

shaded without the rest of the wires being

shaded so you could see what you have

built and what still needs to be built?

Why don't you do this project like you would from the begininng?  Create multiple levels and have your CAD dwg in each view.  Set your view rage so that it only shows that level.  Now place your family components for each level independently.  You can always have tiled viewports so that you can see the model being added to as you work on the individual levels.

the dwg frame won't cut in view range..

i can see different elements i

add in different views- but i always

see all of the wireframe in any kind of view..

 

also i can only see the LINES of the elements

i add to the frame because the frame is shaded

and would cover up the elements i add..

 

it would be great if i could make the shading of the

frame transparent in shaded view so my elements

show up among the lines..

 

i have attempted to build this way many times

in three years but never found a practical

way to do it and never found anyone that knew..

 

maybe we are really supposed to measure

wire frame models in design review and

build them in revit from scratch?

 

it's funny the number one source of

models is 3ds and there is no export

to revit- but there is export to dwf..

 

autodesk advertises the new 3ds design 2010

as being interoperatable with revit- but there

is no export to revit.. i think they are just

talking about sending revit models to it

for rendering even though revit has the

same rendering engine.. none of that

makes any sense to me..
