Rvt to dwg/dwf - scale problem

[akrolith]

When i try to export a *.rvt file to dwg or dxf file i get the drawing scaled up by i 1000 times!! What am i doing wrong?

Also how could i possible get a transparent filled region so i can see the oblects underneeth?

thanks

What are your Revit units? The, in AutoCAD, execute the UNITS command and tell us what you see there.

As for transparent filled regions -- you can do this as long as it's not a solid hatch. You'll see a setting for this under the filled region's properties > Edit/New > Background under Graphics section.

Cheers - and welcome to AUGI!

I am using meters in revit. And when i execute the units command in autocad the length type is decimal.
Of course i could easilly scale down my drawing in autocad by a scale factor of 0.001 and get it in meters but then i would have to change the text height as well and it gets really complicated...

I am struggling with all these cause i want to exchange info between revit and scada ( reinforced concrete design programme) and these two can be linked in autocad.

Lastly, about the filled region command, what i ment to say is not only for the filled pattern to be transparent but also not to cross whats underneeth. e.g. lets say i want to apply a diagonal crosshatch in my wc and see the shower,toilet and sink without them being crosshatched. (sorry for the confusion i might have caused but english is not my first language)

By the way, i have become a big revit fan and i might as well post my first completed project in the gallery right now!!
