I've downloaded your files ...Hi Steve (et al.)<br /><br />I've downloaded your files to have a look (thanks for providing them). A number of Categories and Subcategories have been added to Revit since this translation was drafted. At the same time, looking at the BS 1192 file, there are a number of pieces of syntax missing in the Layer Names from that time also. For example, there are no hyphens between the various fields (Role, Classification, Presentation, etc.) and very few Descriptions.<br /><br />Are you aware of a more up-to-date version available as a .txt file with the correct syntax for the Standard and with a full Category list for Revit 2015 (or indeed a 2016)?Des Hourihanenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-65423865280178757242015-07-28T10:13:38.275-07:002015-07-28T10:13:38.275-07:00Thanks Steve.

I am tasked with creating a set of settings for Revit 2015 to export our Revit work to the company layer standards. <br /><br />Is there a way to export the layer standards from a DWT/DWG file and import this into Revit through the Modify DWG/DXF Export Setup? It needs to be a TXT file for Revit to import. <br /><br />thanks in advance<br />IanBIMbeauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12280915903184510018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-10060114261849095352014-02-24T04:35:03.780-08:002014-02-24T04:35:03.780-08:00hi can you upload the files again, link is not wor...hi can you upload the files again, link is not working ?
