autodesk autocad revit architecture suite 2010

i think autodesk has lost the plot a little !!! hey guys wake up its the users your are making these programs for, not your selves. So i took the autocad flat logo, imported it into sketchup pro 8, dragged it into 3D, scaled it up and down to what ever i liked, really easily, then imported it directly into a revit family, and imported that family into the revit project.įor now if that is an option, revit really likes sketchup files !!! for some reason ? why it hates autocad files beats me, we all use it. The text on the graphic with out messing it up. We had to use their signage which was text & graphics in a circular logo, and revit could not scale I was working for a while for Pumpkin Patch Auckland helping with their store design on Revit

Just hiding or changing line graphics can be managed in the VG panel to an intact DWG. Revit allows for a 'partial explode' which lets you choose exactly which layer you want to manipulate/edit. Importing I reserve for when I want to use the vector linework from CAD as a background to my model.Ĭ) Even if importing, MINIMIZE any exploding of the DWG. If your intention is to fully build up a Revit model just using the DWG as a visual reference, then linking is a cleaner option and you can release the link after. Insert Center-to-Center in that case, and manually reposition the DWG and research on Shared Coordinates to manage that new location.ī) Consider linking the DWG rather than importing. RA2010 has a ~2mile radius limitor, so if the CAD origin is further away from where you will be building the model you will have to do some extra work. Audit, purge it, see where the origin is relative to where the Revit model is to be positioned. Widyaiswarapratiwi, a few pointers for importing in DWG to Revit:Ī) Investigate/cleanup the DWG first.
