👏👏👏 this is exactly what I've been looking for... Thanks so much

Nice to see something that I actually have to do at work! Gives me a bit of confidence that I don't do everything wrong... However I have learned for myself that small objects are better off being made completely new without linking the cad files- I just take the printout with dimensions on it and model them in revit- for a normal family home this seems faster and has the added bonus of getting rid of any .0002 imperfections in autocad and you find other flaws like doors that are slightly out of the grid..

This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.

Hello Balkan, one doubt, because you moved the origin of coordinates in autocad, but when inserting the file in revit by origin to origin, it keeps using the WCS, not the new position. is that so?

sorry but how the 2d part started ? Can you provide the link from where the 2d part started from scratch ? I am interested to try it and i am still a beginner . Thank you

I imported my cad file DWG in to Revit and made section in Revit and it appears only one level line no fixtures of sections why? Please help me how to do easily sections and Elevations in Revit Imported from CAD DWG file

Hola Mr Balkan Buenos dias tengo un comentario estoy siguiendo los videos tengo una pregunta si tienes algun video donde expliques como usar las calculaciones de la estructura en revit buen dia

[Hanna-cngj]

why i can't import the section part to the section? instead it imported to the west/north?

[davidadebusola]

Great tutorial, please can you make a tutorial on making a detailed working drawing like it's done on AutoCAD in Revit. Thanks

[abrarahmed]

hi balkan.. any luck for gradient hatchs in revit?

[dannygarcia]

Does n't it make sense drawing it in revit from the start instead of cad?
