For Revit MEP, this option also applies to spaces.įor rooms, the exported polylines match the boundaries of rooms in Revit.Room polylines are generated from floor plan views or ceiling plan views only.Area polylines are generated from area plan views only.It is recommended not to select it unless they are specifically useful in the DWG file. In the export settings window, we can find the following tabs:Įxport of Rooms, Spaces and Area Boundaries as closed polylines. The configuration is saved as an internal project standard of Revit. It is recommended to record the performed settings. In any case the selection of views and sheets can be recorded to be used later.Įxport Setup Button is located at the top left (it is also reachable directly from the Export>Options> Export Setups DWG/DXF).įrom the drop-down menu you can select a specific configuration.ĭifferent export configurations are listed because previously they were directly saved in the file, or transferred from other project files through the tool “Transfer Single” or “Transfer project standards”. In session view/sheet set: this option you can choose between views and existing sheets.Current view/sheet only: this option only export the view that is active at that moment.Select views/sheets to exportįrom the drop-down Export menu we have two options: The content of the graphic windows are exported to model space. Views propertiesģD axonometric views are exported to a 3D DWG in the space model. You can export to DWG both views and sheets. Select export configuration that will be used.Įxport settings menu Select elements to be exported.This guide explains the general procedures and settings to control such process.Įxport to DWG is done from the Menu>Export>CAD Formats>DWG.įrom this window, two actions are performed: Actually, it is required in many cases to export to CAD formats. When working with BIM models, the ideal situation is that there is no need to export to DWG, and all stakeholders are able to consume the BIM model.īut this is just an ideal world. User has basic skills in Autocad formats.ĭWG export consists in making a translation of Revit sheets/views to CAD formats, which are radically different.User has basic skills in BIM modelling with Revit Software, and understands the language used.Be able to create a useful “Export Setup”.Understand the customized settings before exporting to DWG.
