Wall layers export to dwg issue

I'm exporting the plans to .dwg. However it seems hard to drop the wall structure and finish into different layers.

 

I know there is a way which is to edit 'cut line style' in the template. But this way will affect all the layers in the dwg file. I am currently export to dwg use 'export category properties bylayer and overrides byentity'.

 

Is there any other ways I could seperate the wall layers when exporting dwg?

All these layers (marked in the image) in the dwg exporting settings are not actually used when the walls are exported.

You can't export it that way.  Best you can do is export to different layers the Interior and Exterior Function Walls.

Yes, I know what you showed. But I was expecting to export the walls into more detailed layers. It's ok if it cannot do that. I may just edit layers in autocad then.

Thanks mate, but this is the 'cut line style' I mentioned in the topic. This could work for the purpose of separating the layers. But, the colours will be exported as the same colour of what you see in Revit. To clarify, if I want to make the structure layer to be green in AutoCad, I need to set the 'structure' in the 'Host layer line style' to be green as well. Then it could be exported as what I want. Meanwhile, the wall will be green in Revit Plan views which I don't want.
I'm not sure if my explanation above is clear or not. I think this solution is a choice but not the one I want for now.
