On a recent Revit training course, we spent some time on importing 2D CAD detailing into Revit. The company had a large library of existing content that could be re-used in Revit.
You can import a view from another CAD program and use it as a Revit drafting view. Then you can reference the drafting view for a callout or section and place it on sheets in the construction documentation set.
The process is quite simple.
Select the View tab, go to the Create panel and select ‘Drafting View’.
Enter a name and appropriate scale for the new drafting view.
Select the Insert tab, go to the Link panel and ‘Import CAD’.
Select the detail and CAD format. Pick the ‘Current View Only’ option if you are in a detail view.
Note: This is automatically selected if you are in a drafting view.
Click open to place the CAD detail. Drag and drop this view on a sheet, if desired. You can reference to this view when placing a callout or section.
