setups in your template makes them available to all of your projects.
The Layers tab is where you can assign Revit categories and subcategories
to layers within the exported DWG file. Alongside the list of categories
are columns that allow you to assign an associated AutoCAD layer name
and color ID to each category and subcategory. The color ID is as it is
defined in AutoCAD: 1 is for red, 2 is for yellow, and so on. There are also
columns for assigning layers and colors to objects that are cut by the cut
plane of a view. The Layer Modifiers column allows you to assign modifiers
to the layer names depending on the category being exported. Clicking a
cell in the column reveals the Add/Edit button for that category. Click the
button to apply modifiers, as shown in
Figure 2.16
.
Modifiers are useful for
adding information to layer names, such as EXST or DEMO for existing and
demolished work, respectively.
