Kurpulio Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 (edited) I got a STEP file of a valve which i import in Autocad 2020. Than i save it as a 3d .dwg (2013) which i can import in Revit 2020 to create a family part. But i noticed this really weird thing: The success whether i can import the .dwg into Revit depends on : what .dwt template i used when i imported the STEP in Autocad. If in Autocad i open a new drawing with "acadiso.dwt" template, and save it as .dwg with the imported valve, Revit won't process it properly: A lot of surfaces will go missing, it'll be laggy, and throw some error messages. I tried many settings like save it in .dwg 2018 or change properties of the STEP itself, etc. Sometimes there's a change but its never perfect But accidentally, i noticed, that if i choose "acad.dwt" as the template of the new drawing, than the Revit import will work perfect and won't give errors... If anyone wants to try: I have uploaded the empty .dwg files with respective template , and the versions after i imported the STEP into them too(those are the ones i loaded into Revit) Is it possible to examine the properties of the 2 empty .dwg files and find which setting causes the error? Or anyone know what and why is happening here?
