The "hidden" .DWG in Revit file

Good morning everyone!
In my Revit file I deleted all Autocad files, but in reality in the "visibility views" all Autocad layers also appear. How do you find "hidden" Autocad files?

 

Thank you :tulpe:

Turn on Reveal Hidden Elements, Zoom to Fit, do a Crossing Window Selection of the entire View and check under  Filter to see what's selected.  See any CAD Elements?  Delete 'em.

 

...did you Explode CAD? That would be one explanation.  

 

...if you did explode CAD, you have other issues too. Look under your Line Styles (Manage Tab=>Additional Settings).

Those are the layers from CAD files imported in families (external and model in place).

Thank you. I can't see any CAD elements unfortunately. I didn't explode the CAD file.

@ToanDN hit the nail on the head.

Thank you. Yes, I deleted the masses they contained .DWG and the linked files that contained the CAD file, yet I see these old layers .DWG, which should no longer be present in the .dwg anyway.

Any Loadable Families with CAD in them?

You will spend more time e trying to clean these up than the entire time which you spent modeling your project. You will need to go through all views and element/families (used or just loaded)...and you wo t be able to get rid of ALL of them for sure

 

Simply leave them be and on the next project manage your dwg layers better

Thank you. I was trying to clean up the project, because the views give me problems (they don't see them correctly). I made a post a few weeks ago about this problem and so I was trying to correct the errors.

I deleted the masses present, because they originally contained a CAD file, although not visible (I entered a DWG visibility parameter for it).
The file with the base, Revit link, which is located in the main file, contained a CAD file, in generic models. I don't remember other links .DWG.

Start by switching ✔ them OFF...

Do you mean to turn them off in individual views?

@f.annoscia1XRNMD 

 

If you are not certain in which views they are ... that would be a yes, at least in the views which are giving you graphics issues

 

You can try purge if they are in families which you have deleted OR If they were links you can check under Manage links and remove what is there if you do not need

 

Otherwise your only option is to fish them out view by view and family by family (no other way or tool to clean them up)

Have your tried Purge Unused > Families > expand any entries with .dwg > and check the layers?

@RDAOU @ToanDN I did, but I didn't find .dwg.

Unfortunately I can't find any .dwg.

 

Yet in the linked source Revit file I see only two layers correctly. In fact, in the .DWGs I cleaned everything up, leaving only two lines, to see what happened!

Ps.
Little good news. If I copy only one of the buildings in the project, the largest and tallest, into a new Revit clean file, I see the views correctly...

Ps.

@barthbradley @ToanDN @RDAOU you are very kind to help me! I really appreciate it!

Typically if you have views with some of those CAD turned off, Revit will not delete those CAD layers. You can manually delete them by going to object style>Imported Objects>Delete.

@syman2000actually Revit deleted them. I no longer see them in the visibility of the views. Thank you! :rotes_Herz:

However, I keep seeing the bad views... it will be another problem, not the links, maybe...

Also check with the view template because it will saved those information. When you delete it, those view template will recreate them. So do delete them when you are in view template.

What are bad views?

@ToanDNall views are incorrect.

The view I'm working on is called Vista 3D 7 - Copia 2 - 3.

 

Do you visualize the views well?

In the last few days I have tried to erase all the buildings from the project and also the floor and topography, leaving a single building (the largest). The views are seen correctly. I do not know if having a larger RAM (I have a RAM of 16 GB) could serve. Maybe there are too many windows in my projects.

 

This is the post

Now I will try to export to Autocad one building at a time in the view and then I will compose the final view with the various layers ...). Or I could leave only the outer walls of the buildings in the views, erasing everything else, so I would lighten the file.
