You insert it as a cad link while in the approriate level, and then start tracin'.
First while in REVIT, get on the level the plan should be, then:
Insert Tab > Link CAD > (browse to your desired cad file, pick desired options in the "Link Cad Formats" dialog and select file)
And you can reload, delete etc the file by going into:
Insert Tab > Manage Links > CAD Formats....
where can i find insert tab, I am using Revit Architecture 2009
2009! no ribbon! The original UI, I miss those days......
You're in a Revit Student forum. If you have an educational email address like cadgiri@blahblah.edu, you can download the newest version of pretty much all the Autodesk software.Quote:

There used to be a very well written tutorial for Revit 2009 that I'd love to get my hands on. It was for building a simple ranch style house, then making it a two story, etc.. etc..
It was also for a full semester class. I used it in resale for giving my clients a taste of Revit. Now I need to find it and update it again to 2013 so I can do some training for my new company I'm working for..
If anyone has it, please let me know.
I second Paul's concerns about using RAC 2009. Your college/University is doing you a disservice by not keeping up with the technology. You did get the software through your Educational Institution, right? I know that the UW-Milwaukee, has laptops they issue their Architectural students, with required software already installed (or they used to). Anyways, there are advancements in the software, that you're currently missing out on.Quote:
