3 Under General, enter the desired values for the following cutback distances:<br />

■ Symbolic brace/beam cutback distance: Sets the distance from the center of the brace/beam<br />

to the center of the adjoining beam.<br />

■ Symbolic column cutback distance: Sets the distance from the center of the column to the<br />

beam endpoint.<br />

4 Under Brace Symbols, specify the desired line representation and offset as follows:<br />

■ Plan representation: Select the desired symbolic line type for plan representation (Line or<br />

Line with Angle.)<br />

6 Proceed to the next exercise, Modifying Import/Export Settings on page 109.<br />

Modifying Import/Export Settings<br />

In this exercise, you modify the export layer settings for DWG/DXF and DGN. You then set the import line<br />

weights for DWG/DXF. When you import a DWG or DXF file, each layer in the file is assigned a line weight<br />

based on the pen number/line weight settings you created.<br />

Modify export layers for DWG and DXF<br />

1 Click File menu ➤ Import/Export Settings ➤ Export Layers DWG/DXF.<br />

The Export Layers command maps Revit Structure categories and subcategories to specific layer<br />

names that are available after exporting to other CAD programs. Revit Structure presets the layer<br />

names to American Institute of Architects (AIA) industry standards. The layer names are stored<br />

in a text file (exportlayers.txt), and are exported along with your project into the appropriate<br />

CAD program. The layer mapping files reside in the Data folder of the Revit Structure program<br />

installation directory.<br />
