I have imported a Dwg file in my Revit and have been able to use "Linework" Tool...however I am not able to override or even select certain Lines. Even though in AutoCAD, it tells me all those lines have similar properties.
Please help me understand...

Thanks

Hi! Could you please be a little more specific as to how you are importing the Autocad dwgs.
Are you importing and exploding or just importing the dwg as a background?
Thanks!

Hi Teresa,
I have actually imported the DWG...it's intact and not exploded. No there is no linking. I have imported it as a background.

Not sure I understand exactly what you're trying to do. If you are trying to set lines weights and line types for the linework of the imported dwg file, go to Settings - Object Styles, then select Imported Objects. From there, your AutoCAD layers will show up and you can set the pen wights and types.
