Site and Project Setup
Under the ‘Express Tools Tab
we expand the Modify panel
and click on the ‘Flatten
Objects’ command. You are
then asked to select the
objects that need to be
flattened. Say ‘No’ to the
“Remove hidden lines?” option
in the command bar. This
should have flattened or
brought all the selected
objects in the DWG down to a
0 value for their elevation.
There will be time where
certain object will not be
flattened, such as Blocks.
Either repeat the flatten
command on these or explode
them and repeat the flatten
command. If this still does not
move these objects to the 0
value for elevation then you
might have to move them
down manually. (Remember,
we are doing this to avoid an
unnecessarily large, wide, tall
DWG underlay inside of our
Revit drawing space). You can
switch views back and forth
between plan and side
elevation using the View Cube
