Hi all, When you import a autoCAD file into Revit, is that possible to change the graphic display?
Sometime the hatch shows as solid black in Revit (the steel hatch was double diagonal lines in autoCAD)
I check the graphic overwrite and found that the hatch is not editable…
I wonder is there other way to replace some particular hatch on the linked CAD file?
You can access the Object Style to change the color, the pattern can be addressed on how you are importing into Revit. Its recommended not to import into the project but into a detail family.
Hi Japhy, thanks for your reply. Do you mean that if I import CAD into a detail family, I would be able to modify the hatch pattern?
If the dwg is exploded via the Revit Explode command the Hatches become filled regions.
There is a lot of info out there on cleaning dwg imports in a way not to mess up your Revit projects. Its highly recommended not to do import dwg’s into a project without pre-processing.
Thanks Japhy, I’ll try this way.
