Imported Cad Dwg Sent Under

[Anonymous]

I have imported a Dwg and some lines are missing because Revit sent them under. Is there a way to change this?

Thanks

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by "sent under," but I'm guessing you mean it is displaying as if it is behind the geometry of your model.  If that is the case, there is an instance parameter if you select the imported cad drawing called "Draw Layer."  Set that to "Foreground," adnd you should be good.

Was that the question?

Don't IMPORT!....Use Link instead, as you can change a DWG from Foreground or Background and assign an offset.

Hi Fazio, that was exactly the question. Where I can find that instance parameter to send cad drawing foreground?

Thanks

I have tried to import, saved cad drawing with it to the front and when linked to Revit is sent behind and some lines are not seen.

Any solution to this? Thanks

When you select the imported or linked cad, look in the type properties pane.  It is grouped under "Other".  You can also change it in the properties bar that is at the top, right below the ribbon.  Take a look at the attached image and hopefully that will solve your problem.  It will show up in front of everything else though, so hopefully that will work for what you are trying to do.

this option no longer exists?? there is only shared site - under other...no instance for setting back ground.???
