Exporting Settings to DWG

[Anonymous]

In the settings under DWG exporting I'm noticing that it's all based on new construction. How can I have it so the existing walls will export on a seperate layer than the new walls.

You can't. The export does not maintain the phasing per say. You would have to create an existing view to export, export it, change the layer in AutoCAD, and then export just the demo, chage it in AutoCAD, then insert one into another, and so on, until all of the phases have been accounted for. Revit's phasing does not have any corresponding item in basic AutoCAD to correspond to it, other than additional layers. Revit accomplishes this with a material over-ride. That is why it does not translate phasing into layers, because you could have 12 phases (heaven help me) and then you'd need three wall layers for each phase.

But it WILL work......If you change the Layer Settings by clicking the
Options button in the Export Dialog to "All properties BYLAYER, new layers
for overrides" then you will get "EXST" and "DEMO" as part of the layer
names for those objects that are on those phases in the DWG.

Scott,

I changed the options as you stated but I'm still getting my existing phased elements on a new layer when exporting. Maybe I'm missing a step.
