2d Autocad Practice Drawings Pdf File

I wrote a post years ago about importing AutoCAD 2D drawing to Revit model, the user interface in Revit has evolved significantly over time and I feel there is a need to revisit this topic. If you are reading this post, you are properly looking for tutorial on how to bring CAD file into Revit. Here is my question for you: • Are you trying to import CAD floor plans or details for tracing? Yes ->Skip question 2 and continue to read this post.

If you have been looking for some good AutoCAD exercises to help you practice AutoCAD, Here you go, you will find a bunch of AutoCAD exercises here! Either drop a comment below or simply visit the series learn AutoCAD Basics, Each of these exercises was treated in depth in the last CAD series. This page has AutoCAD tips, tricks, short-cuts and workarounds for you, these tips are equally good for a novice as well as an expert AutoCAD user.

No ->Go to question 2. • Are you trying to import CAD site plan or Civil drawing to your Revit model?

Yes ->Please read my other post and download the free PDF tutorial at the end of the post. No ->Leave me your question in the comment, I will try my best to help you. Linking CAD file to the model To bring a CAD floor plan or detail into Revit, open up the View you want to place this CAD file to. That is, bring it to Floor plan View if you want to use the CAD floor plan as a background to build your building model; Drafting View if you want to trace over the CAD detail. Go to Insert tab >LINK CAD (always LINK*, do no import!) Link vs. Import Link* – You can always reload the CAD file to show the latest updates you made by going to Insert tab >Manage Links.

Import – The CAD file is inserted into the model. All changes made to the CAD file will not be updated unless you remove and reinsert the file into the model. Import too many CAD file can overload your model. It is always a good practice to unload the CAD file once you have finished using it.

Browse the CAD file you want to bring into your model, under Positioning, select Auto – Origin to Origin. Always make sure the content in the CAD file is close to the (0,0,0) origin. Revit will gives an error message if the content is greater than 20 miles from the origin. Why Auto – Origin to Origin? The origin in Revit is called Project Base Point (PBP). When the CAD file is inserted with Auto – Origin to Origin positioning, the CAD origin (0,0,0) will fall on the Project Base Point. The benefit is: • In cases you are inserting multiple CAD floor plans into the model, this will ensure all the plans lines up properly on each level.

• The geometry in the CAD file is close to the PBP, Revit don’t like anything that is too far away from the PBP. Locate the Project Base Point To locate the PBP, open a floor plan view. Go to Visibility/Graphics Overrides (type VG).

In the Model Categories >Sites >CHECK “Project Base Point”. A blue icon will now appear in your view. This is the PBP in your model. Annabel, sorry for the late reply. There is a way to do import contour to Revit.

I always find it convenient to bring in the topo from Civil drawings because all the lines already drawing with Z coordinate assigned. However, it is very likely that the civil topo is drawn miles away from the origin. So make sure you move the topo within 20 miles from origin and clean up all unnecessary lines from the CAD file.

I apologize I cannot get into too much detail explanation in here. The concept is to link the CAD topo into Revit with “Auto-Origin to Origin”, go to “Massing and Site” tab, then use the “Toposurface” to generate the topo. Keep in mind to create a separate Revit file for your topo and link that into your building model file. Do not create the topo directly in your building model file.

You will need to run Revit to export Sheets and Views from Revit to AutoCAD. For bringing AutoCAD file into Revit, it is always recommended to ‘link’ the CAD file in and trace on top of it. Once you have finished, remove the CAD file.

I know some people ‘import’ the CAD file to Revit and explode it. It is a big NO NO. Do not attempt to do this, it will drive up the size of your Revit file significantly because of all the junk that was bought in once the file is exploded. Hope that answer your question.

Donnie, you need to separate the floor plans into 3 separate CADD files, make sure the plans are at the same location when you overlay them and set your plan close to the 0,0,0 origin. Once your cadd plans are ready, start Revit. Open up the First Floor View, follow the instruction in my tutorial to link in your First Floor CADD plan. Next, open up the Second Floor View, and link in the second floor plan. Last, open up the Third Floor View, and link in the third floor plan.
