RE: Phased Exports to DWG
Hey there,
I have had better luck when I create a phase that is "Show Complete + Demo" in the new construction view. Revit seems to like this one for exporting. Besides, it comes in handy when providing coordination drawings and when doing remodel projects.
Good luck
Steve

Also make sure you are utilizing the Demolished, Existing and Temporary phase filter layer suffixes in the Export Layers settings.
RE: Phased Exports to DWG
Thanks for the suggestions. Turned out it was none of the above. The problem was
Export>CAD Formats>Options>Layers and Properties
I was using "all properties BYLAYER, no overrides" rather than the default "Category properties BYLAYER, overrides by entity" when exporting.
RE: Phased Exports to DWG
Steve, what settings are you using under phase settings for new, existing, and demo when you say you have "Complete + Demo" filter. I've tried a few combos of by category and overriden, but can't get what I'm after. There aren't that many combos, but I'm hoping you see something I don't...
RE: Phased Exports to DWG
Hey there,
It is a phase filter that I added. (You have to click "new" in the filter screen and give it a name. I called it "Show Complete + Demo".) I changed the "demo" catagory to "overide" and left existing and new as "by catagory" . You also have to pick a line style for your demo
Good Luck
Steve
Re: Phased Exports to DWG
Is there any way to export to CAD and drop the phase extension? I have a Revit project with only 1 phase, and when I export to CAD it forces the -NEWW layer suffix onto CAD layers.
I thought I could prevent this by deleting the -NEWW in the export layer settings, but alas, it does not allow me to delete the suffix, nor fill it with empty spaces.
Any suggestions?
