I am working a project in revit and want to use some details created in Autocad. is there any way to put these details in a sheet in Revit and make it related to the plan in revit? that is to say from a floor plan created in Revit, make a call out , and this call out would be the detail created in Autocad. Thanks.

What you need to do is- 1/ Create a Drafting View (scale to suit) and import the AutoCAD detail into that (either as a .DWG or a .DXF file) view (View>New>Drafting View) 2/ When you create the section or callout use reference other view and "point" Revit to the detail view you imported. I hope that helps, have a go it is not that difficult- look in the tutorial section of Revit as this is covered under "Documenting your projects>creating a drafted detail Good luck!

Great, now How exactly do you "use reference other view and "point" Revit to the detail view you imported." ???

OK, just forget it, I found out. It's in the option bar when you create the callout. This day is getting too long...
