This option sets the value of both LTSCALE and PSLTSCALE to 1. This option sets the LTSCALE parameter to view scale and the PSLTSCALE to 0. Regardless of the option you choose, the DWG linetype definitions are created so that a dashed line. Some lines that you would expect to be dashed may now appear solid or in a different scale in either Model or Sheet View in AutoCAD. This option preserves graphical intent by exporting linetypes the same as they were previously scaled by view scale. In Revit Architecture, the Linetype Scaling setting changes the default behavior of the exported DWG files. You can select any of the following options to control the LTSCALE and PSLTSCALE settings in AutoCAD and to control how linetype definitions are exported from Revit LT: Regardless of the option you choose, the DWG linetype definitions are created so that a dashed line always begins and ends with a dash. In Revit LT, the Linetype Scaling setting changes the default behavior of the exported DWG files. Exporting from AutoCAD to Revit is an easy task to perform, but some users get stuck on one or two vital settings that need to be configured. DWG/DXF files can also be used to export elevation contours to Autodesk Revit BIM (page 281) and a 3D surface to SketchUp (page 283).
#Export terramodel linetypes to autocad how to#
Learn how to speed up the export/import process from AutoCAD (dwg) to Revit. as AutoCAD, MicroStation, Terramodel, etc. A value of 1 indicates that viewport scaling governs linetype scaling. The fastest way to easily export an AutoCAD dwg file to Revit. Linetype dash lengths are based on the drawing units of the space (model or paper) in which the objects were created. A value of 0 indicates no special linetype scaling. OH, and I forgot you have to first in the autocad FILE use the comand PSLTSCALE and change it to 0, so you use the model scale and not import the plot.In AutoCAD, the PSLTSCALE parameter controls paper space linetype scaling. so when you go to a 1/50 view, it only divide it with 5 and no with 50. So, the best thing to do, in my opinion, is to import the cad views in a 1/10 scale view. So revit cant make that and make the line solid. Then Imagine that 0.2mm, 0.1mm, and you change the scale to 1/1? the revit would try to divide 0.2/100 !!!!! so the result will be 0.2 mm line and 0.1 mm space. it multiplicate x 10 the dimensions, and then divide it with the view scale.Įxample: if I import a cad file with a linestyle (2mm line, 1 mm space) while I am in a 1/100 view, the formula would be (2mm x 10) / 100 for the line and (1mm x 10) / 100 for the space. A design engineer uses third-party design software, such as AutoCAD, to generate design. SO the thing goes like this.for example In cad I have a dashed line that is (line 5mm / space 10 mm) Terramodel Field Data Module and the SCS900 Export Utility.

(now if there was only a trick to get the shapes for a linetype when the orginator didn't. I've been using Design Center to grab them as I needed, but the lisp to export the definiton to a text format looks useful. Then I change the revit view scale to 1/50 or 1/100 and all is good. If the linetype is already loaded in the drawing, I don't believe the. In revit, before I import the CAD FILE, I change the view scale to 1/10, the linestyles appear as they have to apear. After looking and trying lots of difference ways, I find out this:
