Hi,
I'm linking a few CAD files into Revit for use as backgrounds and have found difficulty working with them. A couple of issues I've been having in regards to a linked site plan:
- The regeneration of the graphics on my screen can't seem to "catch up" with whatever I'm trying to do. If I'm trying to move the linked file on the screen by picking a point and snapping it to another point, the end point doesn't seem to match the actual location of the end point I see on the screen. The hi-lighed "end point" hovers near/around the actual end point I see on the screen. This makes it difficult when I'm working with a group of lines drafted closely together.
- When I zoom in too closely to the linked file, I get distorted lines (lines turn into thick/thin triagles) and then it's impossible to see anything to work on coordinating aligning, moving, etc. It does not matter if I click on the icon to see all thin lines.
- When I go to print, the linked file's lines are jagged even if they were drawn straight in CAD, curves and arcs are jagged, and even lines which were off-set when they were drawn in CAD do not show the correct and consistent distance from one another.
I've tried turning off all the worksets I'm not using so that it doesn't burden my graphics card, but that doesn't work and it still doesn't resolve my printing issues.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
