Hi all,
I'm having an issue with DWG export that I'm hoping has a simple solution:
I've been trying to set up the dwg export setup to match the old office cad standard - having assigned layers to the individual subcategories of a wall type, - I find they don't export as specified and are all assigned the parent category layer - is there a setting somewhere to have revit pay attention to the subcategories? is this a known problem or just my software?
painful friday afternoon issue.
any help will be greatly appreciated!
am working with revit 2013 on windows 7

I am having the same issue, but I can't see a solution, there doesn't appear to be an option to specify different sub categories.
If you ever resolved this issue, please post your solution. Thank you.

Hey yeah so what I figured out- that is to say that I didn't resolve it - the problem is, if its the same as yours, is that revit calls the edges between the layers of a wall 'common edges' rather that specifying what they are- which I guess means that they avoid developing a hierarchy for layers in a wall make up. I had thought to outrun this by splitting into parts but then revit calls all that parts which is inconvenient. So one work around that might work which I didn't try would be to model each layer in your wall as a different wall. Not at all useful but hey, it's a thought. You get any further?

With your extra information, I can see that my exporting issue was somewhat different: I wanted to assign different layers to subcategories of Room Fills (so that each fill colour went onto its own layer). I posted a different thread on this topic, but I was told that it is not possible to add subcategories to the room fill layer. Thank you for your follow up.
