AC333-3: I am a Mac and a PC: AutoCAD for. (even with the AutoCAD import in 'halfotne' the Revit walls do not show). If you have created a floor plan in AutoCAD and want to convert it to 3D, open the floor plan drawing. Seems to me that these should show for these situations, should not? To see the walls in Revit clearly I have to hide the AutoCAD import.
This is one situation where I want the Revit walls to show on top and the AutoCAD background on the bottom, but when I pick the Crop Region of the AutoCAD import or the Imported AutoCAD drawing with a window, the Bring to Front and the Bring to Back contextual commands do not show, so I do not see a way of how to bring the AutoCAD import to the back. I am adding the exterior walls of the existing shells with generic 8' and 12' gray walls with the 'Pick Lines', but once that these walls are drawn in Revit, these appear under the AutoCAD Background (i.e, they are 'under'). The reason I asked the question this time is since I have an imported AutoCAD drawings of an existing commercial shell wiwhich also has some new interior walls of a Tenant Improvement. In a 3D model, an active section plane hides everything on one side of the plane, as shown in the following figure. I was able to create 'BF' for Bring to Front. &0183 &32 In SketchUp, section planes cut a model along a plane so that you can peer inside the model - without moving or hiding any geometry. My Keyboard Shortcuts have 'Bring to Front' but I dod not see 'Bring to Back' there.
