I am trying to link into Revit an enlarged CAD site plan that has been xclipped from the overall site plan.  When I bring it into Revit, it looses the xclip boundary and displays the entire site plan.  How do I link into Revit and preserve the xclip boundary?  I need help FAST.  We turn in the project in 36 hours.  Thanks!

xclip is just masking the real drawing, if I'm not mistaken.  Revit will import the entire DWG and all of the layers, ignoring layer freezing and xclipping and any other visibility controls that were set in CAD.  The programs are not really meant to work together. 

 

Resave a new site plan, and manually simplifying it, trim to the dimensions you want to import.  What is the purpose of your cad site plan? 

 

For looks on a sheet?  Or as a reference for building a site in revit?
