In this video, Shaun Bryant shows how to set the colors of the imported CAD drawing.
- [Instructor] So we're staying…in our O six underscore office dot rvt file…and it's our Revit project in Revit 2017.…So now, what we're doing is looking…at a blank Revit project,…and the reason I'm kind of going back…to the blank Revit project again each time is one,…repetition age retention which…is a very well known training process, but also, I want…to kind of go through each setting individually now…as we bring in the CAD drawing into our Revit model.…
So, back to the insert tab up at the top on the ribbon,…Into the import panel and click…on import CAD and we're going to…use our O six office reception area drawing again.…So I select it and what we're going to look…at is the settings for our colors, first of all.…Now, you'll notice in the thumbnail over here…in the preview, the CAD drawing has all…of it's AutoCAD colors.…There's a color's setting here so you've got a choice,…you can invert the colors, you can preserve the colors,…you can keep all the sort of AutoCAD colors when you bring…in the CAD drawing into the Revit model…
