What's interesting is that whatever you change here sets the parameters for any DWG files that are subsequently dragged/dropped into Revit from Windows Explorer. Leave scale at 'Auto-Detect' (otherwises detail scales a real pain to get right) All hatches were coming in solid - here's our solution: Oakland, was wondering if anyone else has noticed the follow issue with Revit 2008: Doing this, the hatch patterns come in correctly and remain correctly displayed when scaled down by a factor of 12.ĭoes anyone know if there is a solution or settings that needs to be modified to resolve this? While the workaround solves the issue, it is truely a pain to have to scale every detail that is imported. Then select the imported detail and resize the detail by. work around) is to import details using Custom scaling set to 1.00000. Also, I am working with other clients that are having the same issueĬurrently, the solution (i.e. I was thinking that this was how the patterns are being created in AutoCAD but this doesn't happen in previous versions of Revit so it would appear that something has changed in Revit 2008. If I bring the exact same detail into Revit 9.0 or Revit 9.1, the hatch patterns appear correctly. Now, here is the interesting part, this only appears to happen in Revit 2008. When importing AutoCAD details into Revit 2008 with the scale set to: Auto-Detect some of the AutoCAD hatch patterns come in as solid black instead of showing the proper hatch pattern.

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed the follow issue with Revit 2008:
