If you open a 2007 cad file, or so, in illustrator it should keep the layers from the cad file. So the cad file from revit can be saved as an older version and then opened in illustrator instead of copy-pasting.
Dude- thank you. I help people make 2D views for 2D layouts with total staiotns. So frustrating when I get a 3D model - but this makes is so much easier - just throw it in Revit and export really quick
When you initially go into your view it has this really nice shading to it. Do you have a video where you share the settings you’re using to make it look so nice?
Hi I currently have a very large and messy Revit model and want to create a simplified section with context. there's no context, there are completely plain massing block in SketchUp but no windows etc.. the model export is to detailed and these have no detail is there a quick way to simplify the Revit exported sheet in AutoCAD or illustrator with out editing each block or changing/ deleting individual lines. Any advice would be great
I have a DWF 3D line-based vector, and I want to import it into Revit to convert the lines into volumes with less work. Perhaps there's a way I don't need to draw all the volumes I want to extrude using the vector as a base. Is that possible? In the file, I have the site contour lines and some existing buildings. While using the mass & site tool, I was able to model the site, but I couldn't automatically extrude/model the buildings.
Thanks Jon, very helpful...how about those hatches inside the blocks? I have to work with a file with 5000 blocks. So, I used the Blkto0 lisp, but the hatches still there. Any suggestions?
What about the scale? Does it keep the same scale from Revit to Autocad? And does it keep it from Autocad to Illustrator when you just drag the drawing?
Great question! It’s always important to be conscious of scale when moving between programs. Perspective drawings are ultimately scale-less. Isometric drawings on the other hand will have a scale factor. Based on the scale that you selected for the viewport on the sheet in Revit, you can retain this scale when moving to AutoCAD. When using the copy-paste method from AutoCAD to Illustrator, you will need to rescale like I touched on in the video. Scaling drawings ultimately depends on your workflow, so there can be a lot of different solutions to answer your question. It really just depends on the type of drawing that you are working on. Hope this helps!
Digging the Revit/design tutorials. Keep it up!
I appreciate it my friend - thanks for watching!

you're a Legend, was struggling with this for a few hours now. cheers for the brilliant tutorial!!!
Thank you!! So glad you found it to be helpful!

Hey, welcome back. You should post more videos. I like the way you create your visuals and also audio is crisp!
Thank you! Good to be back - it’s been a crazy year. I’ll be uploading many more videos, and I appreciate you watching!
This was extremely useful! Thank you! Now, to figure out to add the shadows back...
You can export your shadows from revit as a solar study and overlay them onto your model.
Very useful. Thank you.
You're a godsend thank you
Very useful thank you very very much
Thank you very much!!
thanks really helpful
thank you it was helpful
Saved my life
Thanks a lot mannnn! :D
Thank you really ...Thank you
Thank you
Thanks heaps!
Thanks 😍
Awesome video...
Great video! Q: The drawing in Ai is a vector? or what kind of drawing did you paste

just explode the blocks

How to successfully import elements (line and area) from Revit to arsap
Благодарю
u saved my. fucking life
Hahaha glad to hear it was helpful!
When I exported from revit, I opened the file from file explorer with illustrator and my lines were there!! No need for illustrator!
That's right! When you export as a .DWG, the 2D lines are created. The Illustrator portion is additional content as I mentioned in the video :)
duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude
