DWG export to look like Revit

[Kimtaurus]

We're trying to export our Revit sheets to dwg and have them look like the Revit file itself. (Lineweight, pattern, colours)

The issue we're having isn't with the lineweights, I've already adapted an export txt file for this.

But any floor/wall/roof/ceiling pattern is exported in 1 colour. Often the color set in the category itself and not the Surface/Cut Pattern subcategory/layer.

In this specific project we have several solid patterns on the floor, they are being exported in the same colour, no matter what I try. Often just grey and not the colour used in Revit.

Also the surface and cut patterns of curtain mullions, structural columns, doors,... are a solid black fill. I can't seem to be able to change this anywhere in Revit.

We have close to 250+ sheets in this project, so adapting every dwg file manually isn't an option.

You can chenge your DWG export format such as patterns, layer color, names and etc.from the DWG export setup window. but before that check your object style format for youe categories from manage toolbar.

Be sure when you export out your DWG's that you are creating a new CTB or STB file based on the PCP files when exporting.  

Revit exports are great for collaborating with other companies....but if you are using them for records/printing you are going to have difficulties.  It's best to export to PDF and share that way.

Sorry....this is a test....as I realized I was using the wrong account.  Which is weird since the screen names are the same?

I have found pattern colors defined in material definitions will not export to AutoCAD as the same colors, but by the colors set for the export pattern layer.  However, pattern colors by override will export as is.
