Anything over this limit would cause errors in graphical display. In this case it wasnt working because the DWG was not within View. If you are importing Site Plan information, this is often located a large distance from the 0,0 origin. Im thinking the way to do it is to use a shape file and insert that into a line type. Open the Quick-select menu, which is the icon with the.

Use the Quick Select Menu to Clean Up The AutoCAD Drawing If you want to get rid of the hatches quickly, go to the Properties tab. Finally you need to consider the coordinates of the CAD Data. Since Revit and AutoCAD work well together, you will notice lines and hatches are separated into layers based on your organization in Revit.AutoCAD wont let you delete the active layer, so check which layer is. Purge, Delete, Bind any Xref information in the CAD file and Audit it. The Attach This File button lets you attach an AutoCAD DWG, DXF, or Revit FBX file to the current 3ds Max scene. This will get rid of a whole load of extra data that AutoCAD doesnt need to manage.Use the OVERKILL command in AutoCAD to remove duplicate lines (thanks for this tip J).If you are using an OS Plan to trace the outline of a house, don’t load in half of London! Similarly, if you only need the building outline, dont load in all the spot levels, hatching etc which will really slow down the performance of your model. Clean up the copy to make sure you are only linking in ‘the information you need’ i.e.Its also good to be able to see and manage all linked information from one folder location. It’s important to do this as you will often need to clean up a sub-consultants drawing and remove unwanted links, blocks etc (and you don’t want to destroy the original file they sent you!). Take a copy of your Original CAD Data and store it in a separate location (suggest a folder such as.However, if the text was multiline text when the text reaches the end of the text block it will. If the text was single line text in AutoCAD it will continue to keep the text in the same line.
#CAN NOT IMPORT AUTOCAD DRAWING INTO REVIT 2011 SOFTWARE#
This conversion can cause the text to change size. The modification can only perfectly done in the original software modeling (CAD or other software modeling), and when it imported back to Revit, it cannot. Instead, this post discusses the key considerations when linking CAD data into a Project. So, when Revit links or imports text from a DWG it converts the font from the SHX font into a TrueType. Dark colors become lighter, and light Unable to select the DWG that has been imported into Revit. I could go on for hours and hours talking about this subject as there are so many different scenarios which lead to different best practice methods for either linking or importing CAD Data.
