Export Air Ducts with different Layer

Hello,

 

I'm setting my revit with my Standard Layer I'm using in AutoCad.

 

For Example i need to have different Layer for different System of Ducts:

Ok, i can select in Export setting the different classification system:

At the end i need to have everytime the prefix of HVAC and the 3 different Layer have all the same color in dwg export (change only object color).

Is a solution for this? i will have this result:

 Thank you

You can configure Layer Modifiers to separate the Ducts into separate Layers. Under the "Modify DWG/DXF Export Setup" dialog, select the appropriate Categories (CTRL+click) and then click "Add/Edit..." under the "Layer Modifiers" field. In the following dialog, you can add the "{System Type}" Modifier along with any Separators you want, like a dash, and click OK. Next, scroll down towards the bottom of the list to "Modifiers". Expand that to reveal the list of System Types in the Project. Here, you can specify what text is added to the AutoCAD Layer (the "Layer" field) and what color that Layer will be (the "Color ID" field).

Hello,

 

i found some trouble with export...There is not the possibility to make new classification system, so i can't create a good Layer export.

 

So i try to use the System type but revit extract the name of type system with a number everytime.

 

For esample:

Classification system: Supply Air (standard system of revit)

System type: Air Conference Room

 

I try to extract in dwg with type system, and the result is:

 

Air Conference Room 1

Air Conference Room 2

Air Conference Room 3

 

This why i have 3 separate ducts...

 

It's a trick to have only one Layer? Air Conference Room for all three ducts?
