Demolition wall data control

[sfraney]

Hi,

I'm working on a plan in Revit which consists of new, existing, and demolished walls. I need to export this plan into Autocad and wish to keep the demo walls on a different layer than the new walls. It appears at first glance that revit treats new and demo walls the same.

Is there a way to export new walls on one layer and demo walls onto a different one?

Help would be helpful.

That level of control is not available now. I'm confident the Revit team understands the issue.

A possible work around is to use worksets.

Do the workset tutorial if you haven't used them yet
Create worksets for all objects and get them in their worksets
Create worksets for each interior wall type
Place these walls in their corresponding workset
Create separate export template files that assign these walls to different layers (one file for each different type)
Create a separate floor plan view for each special wall type, set visible, all else off.
Export main floor plan with the all the special wall's worksets turned off. (using the main export template)
Export each special wall floor plan using its own export template
Open the main floor plan in AutoCAD
Insert/Explode or Externally Reference/bind/ the separate special wall files.
Now you've got floor plans that have all the walls on the separate layers.
Lot of work? Sure...is it less or more than doing the changing in Acad? Guess it depends on how many you're dealing with.
