in cad, we copy and edit the details from other projects.
how will you creat these details in Revit?
Import to Draft view?

You will use Revit detail components to 'assemble' your details. Detail components are families that can be used in multiple projects. The completed detail views can also be copied and reused from project to project.
Try to make the time to rebuild your details using native Revit objects rather than importing existing ACAD details into Revit. It may seem like a lot of work to start but will save endless headaches down the road.

that means we have to cut each door type and window type, and drafting on it. also we have to hide all the cut in the other views. it takes too much time to do so.

do you have a easy way to do it?

It would be the almost the same way it is done in CAD now. Make your details in Revit, using detail components and 2D drafting lines, no cutting of the doors/windows required. That way those details can be used in multiple projects, the same way it is done in CAD.

All door and window details are done as drafting views in our projects. They can easily be keyed in model views if needed, and can also be copied from project to project using Insert View From File.

Most of our drafting view details are made of detail components, with the occasional filled region or line for flashings or membranes. We try to keep the use of drafting lines to a minimum and use the actual components, as it helps keep file size down.

Amen Patricks, this is the only way to go. We also have the door details segragated out into metal stud, masonry, and Alluminum "library" files so these can be brought in, and quickly modified if necessary for each project.
