Comments on: Import AutoCad 2D drawing to your Revit model http://revit.rayvinly.com/2009/02/18/import-autocad-2d-drawing-to-your-revit-model/ My journey to learning Revit Thu, 05 Jan 2012 07:20:00 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Edward http://revit.rayvinly.com/2009/02/18/import-autocad-2d-drawing-to-your-revit-model/comment-page-1/#comment-3918 Edward Thu, 20 May 2010 03:31:46 +0000 http://revit.rayvinly.com/?p=71#comment-3918 Thanks. Veng. BTW, I have solved the problem by xref the file into a new blank drawing and can link CAD to Revit. Actually, I try to do it at the same original file( before xref), but the same problem come. Maybe it is the bse point problem. Thanks. Veng.

Also, try the zoom extent command in cad to check your drawing boundary. If this doesn't help, try to copy only the lines that you need and paste it to a fresh new cad file. Hope this help.

However, same message appeared. I have already purge all the layers, open all layers and delete all unnecessary. What fine tune should I do at AutoCAD or Revit MEP before I do the action of "Import CAD"? I have already moved the centre of the whole 2d autocad drawing towards the coordinates (0,0,0).

Make sure you move the drawing (floor plan or model) in your Autocad file close to the (0,0,0) coordinate and that should resolve the problem.

However, a message box appear and said that as follows:- " .... Revit cannot import (THE autocad drawing) becasue it will create a Revit model that is larger than 2 miles across. This can cause inaccuracies and instabilities. Either select a different Import units seting or adjust the project size before importing...." What should I do to tackle the problem?

I want the 2d lines to be visible in my renders in Revit, however I cannot get this to work. I can se the lines in all 2d views and even in 3d view, but as soon as I hit the render button, the lines are not visible anymore. Any sugestions to how I can make my 2d lines visible in the render output? /Jeppe Hi,
