Existing CAD Details? Let’s Use Them! CAD to Revit—It’s All About the Details

You’ve been using AutoCAD to produce your drawings for some time, and you have a huge library of details. Now that you’re moving to Revit happens to all these details? You don’t what to just trash them. In this class, we'll look at the next step in your transition to Revit. We'll see how you can still use those details right in your Revit projects straight from AutoCAD. We’ll explore how we can bring those existing details into Revit and have them be referenced correctly in our projects just like they were created there. We’ll even look (when you have time) at how to Revitize your AutoCAD details to start building a true Revit detail library. So, if not being able to use your details is holding you back from switching to Revit—or you're just not sure how to do it—don’t let that stop you. You don’t have to throw them out—they’re still good.
