Hi there! I got quite a challenge. Our Client wants us to export the DWGs following a special sorting and name convention based on a series of attributes, which result in objects of the same Revit Category being sorted in different layers.
The DWG exporter in Revit is based on mapping Revit Categories to AutoCAD Layers. So I need to go other way. Unfortunately I don’t have someone between my colleagues to pitch ideas, so I hope you can help me.
My intuition tells me that I could send the elements in a view to Rhino and sort them by the one attribute (I can use a combine parameters tool in Revit to just get one string and feed it into an attribute), then I can export the DWGs from Rhino with the correct Layer Struture.
Has anybody attempted to do something like that? Any recommendations to where to start and possible challenges along the way?
