Here's the short question, has anyone experienced layer issues of linked elements when exporting to CAD?
Now the specifics. We have one model inked into another model. We are exporting the floor plans from Revit 2014 to ACAD (2007 .dwg version) and the elements in the linked file are not following the export layer definitions of either the host file or the linked file. All the furniture, the plumbing, the specialty equipment, the windows and the doors are coming in on Layer 0 inside the block that it creates for the linked file. Basically it looks almost like all component family elements are being put on Layer 0 while the system families are working correctly.
I don't even really no where to start so I am hoping that someone has experienced this in the past and has figured out the solution. I know I can export the linked file separately, and that's what I am going to suggest to the team, but it should probably not have to be done.
Any help would be appreciated, even blind guesses that I could test out...
thanks,
Devin
