Missing Survey point after upgrade to Revit 2015

[aerosjerry]

After updating a project from 2013 to 2015 I notice that my survey point is missing.

Also when I export to Autocad there are all these crazy lines everywhere, none of which can be selected. 

I have lost the ability to send drawings to consultants. Can anyone help with this? Critical! screen shot attached

Hi,

Try this,

Go to site or plan level,  type VV (Visibily / graphics), model categories, site,, survey point (check if tick or not, just tick it)

and

Go to manage, manage links ( remove or unload link files) before you export to acad (dwg) files.

I tried your suggestions but still getting the same result...

hi,

what do you mean, getting the same result? still cannot see the survey point or still have many lines when exported to dwg files or both.

did you update the latest service pack ?

is there anyway you can post your files so that other people can investigate too and check what's wrong with your files?

as far as i know when files upgrade from R2013 to R2015 it really matters.

Buy same result I mean no survey point & wierd lines on the exported autocad file.

unfortunately the revit file size is too large to post, however I will post the exported Autocad file

hi,

i dont see any problem with your drawings. i dont see any weird lines that you have mentioned. I printed to pdf files and its looks clean.

Anyways when you created annotations or text in revit,  go to properties change opaque to transparent when exporting revit to autocad files.

2nd thought : save your revit files to another filename and open in revit and purge everything and export to autocad and see what is the outcome.

That is helpful, at least I know it is display related. I plotted out a PDF and the lines disappeared. (Ive attached a screen shot so you can see what I am getting on my display in Autocad) It does seem to be affected by display settings but i have not found any that make them disappear from the display, I suspect it is my old display card, I will have to upgrade that and see if it changes. maybe it related to hardware acceleration but im not sure there is an option for that in Autocad. anyway thanks for you r help so far.

hi,

i've attached the scrreen shot of your drawing from my autocad 2015 and i didnt find any crossing lines.

try to update the latest service pack from autodesk of your current version of autocad and update the latest driver of your graphics card. it could be your graphics card problem.

if you are satisfied with this solution please mark as accepted solution so we can close this case.
