Good morning everyone, I've just imported a CAD drawing into a Revit model that I'm going to work on. The project manager is working on the CAD drawing, and will continue to work on it throughout the project- it's my job to keep the Revit model updated as he makes changes to the CAD drawing. The imported CAD file has notes and drafts scribbled all through it, and I would like to clip away all the unimportant information so I can just focus on what's important- in other words, I'd like to do something similar to an xclip in AutoCAD with this drawing, but still leave the drawing in tact so it will continue to update as he updates the CAD file. Can that be done in Revit 2010? Any help is great appriciated. Thanks!

Did you try to pick in the CAD file then in the Options Bar you have a "Query" button where you can choose the elements (layers) in that CAD file and you can hide like in VG?

I did try that, but the Query tool only allows you to modify things by their AutoCAD layers, and there are items on layers throughout that I need to keep (if I freeze anything I don't want, I'm very likely to freeze something I DO want on the same layer). Thanks tho.

You may want to channel the drawing content into controllable layers instead of having a free-for-all. Then when you link or import the dwg into Revit, you can control content by layers.
