\u201cThere are a few methods for bringing CAD drawings into Revit.<\/p>\n

The easiest method is to simply import the drawing into a Revit drafting view and explode it.<\/p>\n

GASP! Did he really just say that???<\/p>\n

For the record, I definitely DON\u2019T recommend this method. It wreaks havoc in your model. It deposits a whole ton of extra crap in your model. It\u00a0will\u00a0make your model cry.<\/p>\n

Essentially, every layer in the DWG file becomes a Revit linetype. Likewise with every dimension and text style as well as all the fill patterns. Talk about a mess.<\/p>\n

Rather than suffer through that, there are three better methods I could use to manually\u00a0convert the details. The methods are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Link the details into a Revit Drafting View and change the visibility and line styles of the elements<\/li>\n
  2. Import the details into a new Revit file. Explode the details and convert the elements to Revit line styles. Transfer the cleaned-up details into the project file.<\/li>\n
  3. Trace the linked details in Revit using this\u00a0method<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Given the number of details I had\u00a0to convert, these methods weren\u2019t going to work. Instead, I needed to take a smarter approach.<\/p>\n
