When i export DWGs from my Revit 2014 project i need some mass-items to be in one layer, and other mass-items to be in a different layer.

So i can turn on and of separate layers and therefore mass-items in AutCAD.

Is there a way to fix this in layer properties in Revit?

Thanks

This is not a problem to "fix".  Change the layer in CAD.

Before exporting a Revit model, you may want to:

• Reduce the amount of model geometry to be exported. See Limiting Model Geometry Before Exporting.
• Create or modify layer mapping to ensure that all the project information stored in Revit categories and subcategories will be exported to the proper CAD layers (or levels, if exporting to DGN). Revit automatically maps categories and subcategories to preconfigured layer names. For example, a Revit door object automatically maps to A-DOOR layer in AutoCAD. You can change the preconfigured layer/level names and modify other export settings. For DGN, the information is saved in text files (see Exporting to DGN); for DWG and DXF, it is saved in export setups (see Exporting to DWG or DXF).

  For any of these formats, you can load an existing layer mapping file (current or legacy) and manually change values for it, or you can load layer settings from any of the following mapping standards:
