    Question Revit 2011 to Impressions 3

    Hi there.

    Can someone share on how they experiencing the workflow between Revit 2011 and Impression 3. I seem to be having many teething problems with the process of getting good results… Wrong scales, wrong lineweights etc. etc.

    Thanks,
    Craig

    Default Re: Revit 2011 to Impressions 3

    Hi again.

    Possibly it may help at this stage to explain my process/workflow so far...

    From Revit I export to DWG.

    As there is no longer an Export to Impression option in AutoCad 2011 there is no point in going into AutoCad 2011 at this stage.

    What I do, do however is take the PCP file created with the exported DWG and use it in AutoCad to create a CTB for the DWG.

    I then in Impression go to document setup and set the document up to be identical to my Revit Sheet.

    I then import the DWG file into Impression using the DWG Import Wizard

    Straight away I am faced with some problems...
    1) Scale is wrong I need to go and manually edit the scale in the layers dialog.
    2) As soon as I apply a Global Stoke to the drawing all dotted / dashed lines become solid.

    Possibly someone else has had similar problems with workflow between Revit and Impressions who could shed some light on the subject! Simply all I am wanting to do is this... Take a plan from revit into Impression and give it a sketchy look, while still retaining scale / line weights / and line patterns as per my revit drawing.

    Any ideas?
    Craig
