Hi! Is it possible to setup Revit to dimension with two separate "layers"? For example Architectural Dimensions and Structural Dimensions. I am using Revit Architecture 2013 and converting the Revit files to AutoCAD 2007 .dwg files for our structural engineer.

Is it possible to control the layer colors / lineweights / linestyles of Revit files converted to AutoCAD files (make my revit file match the outside firm's AutoCAD standards) ?

Thanks!
Rob

You can dimension in Revit with different Types for the Architecture/Structure issue but when you export they'll all go to the same layer. And you can control how categories and subcategories are exported to layers/colors in the Export Setup dialog.

Greg,

Thanks! I will take a look at the export setup dialog.
