Enhanced dwg Export- Export different pipe systems to different dwg layers

[ammad.mahmood]

Hallo Everyone.

Hope you will be all fine. I am using Enhanced dwg export for Revit plugin. I have different pipe systems in my model and want all of them to be export in different layers in Autocad. I know how to do it with Direct Revit export fuction but i dont know how to do it with this Enhanced dwg Export plugin. 

Please help me regarding this. Is there any way to do it with this plugin?

it does not shows me any option for the pipe systems and i already have pipe systems in my model.

Thanks.

I see that no-one answered this.

I’ve no idea what the enhanced plugin does but since what you want is easily achievable using the native export function in Revit why don’t you just do that?

Hi @ammad.mahmood 

I can think in something that could help you. 

1. Create a new subcategory for pipes in object Styles. When you go for export options, you can add a new layer and color for different categories and change the pipes categories.

2. When you apply a color to anything, inside export setup, colors tab, you can choose True Color. Doing this, on AutoCAD you can select by color, using filter tool  (FI) and change their layers.

Exporting from Revit, you can create different layers per pipe system without doing what you suggest.

The question was regarding an Enhanced export plugin tool.

In fact, @iainsavage  I was thirsty to answer that and I didn´t realize that was about the plugin! lol 😄

No problem, I was just clarifying for anyone else reading the post now or in the future.
