If my elements are halftoned in Revit how do I get them to screen in ACAD? And screen a specific screen 20%, 50% etc...


I am using the PCP file the got when exporting the Revit file.


Thanks

I have figured out my issue.

Some Colors in Revit don't export out to the same RGB color in ACAD

For example:

Revit RGB 128,128,128 which is color 8 in ACAD exports to ACAD color 251 RGB 91,91,91

Revit RGB 192,192,192 which is color 9 in ACAD exports to ACAD color 253 RGB 173,173,173

I could give more examples but you get my point.

This is why my ACAD file lost their screens, because the RGB's are not consistent.

So if you use export setting Category properties BYLAYER, overrides BYENTITY and you give your element an overide color, you may not end up with the desired color or print result in ACAD


Oh, and as far as giving my ACAD different screen levels such as 30% or 50%.. Revit only does Half tone, so I only need one screen level.

I hope this helps someone.
