how to export revit to dwf with layer information?

[Anonymous]

hello,

we need to have layer information on a dwf file, so we can turn on/off different parts of the project.

how can we export revit to dwf with layer information?

thanks

Revit can export to DWF but the layer information does not translate.  For a temporary fix, you can export Revit to DWG with layer information and then use AutoCAD to export the DWG files to DWF with layer information.  I am not sure why the layer data doesn't translate yet....still researching.

DWF/DWFx exported from Revit have all the model information.  You can Hide/Unhide via the Model tree.

it's really annoying, because for dwg the information is there, not for dwf...

it seems that it's just a "program" thing...

layers are on a different part of the drawing/design review, mode info (that only appear in 3d models) is different from layer info
when you publish/export in dwf sheets there is no model info

barthbradley,

i confirmed and the DWF6ePlot configuration was already correct, so it didn't work...

Hi! is there any improvements about this revit "fail"?

There are no layers in Revit. DWF files exported from Revit contain category information.
