Have you ever needed to export non-3D CAD files from a 3D view in Revit? Whether for documentation purposes or collaboration with other team members, being able to export non-3D CAD files from a 3D view can be incredibly useful. Here's how you can do it:
1. Open the 3D view in Revit that you want to export non-3D CAD files from.
2. Navigate to the 'File' menu and select 'Export' > 'CAD Formats' to open the Export CAD Formats dialog box.
3. In the Export CAD Formats dialog box, select the desired export options such as file format, units, and export scope.
4. Choose the 'Current View Only' option in the 'Export:' drop-down menu to export non-3D CAD files directly from the current 3D view.
5. Click 'OK' to initiate the export process. Revit will prompt you to specify a file name and location for the exported non-3D CAD file.
6. Specify the file name and location as desired, and click 'Save' to export the non-3D CAD file from the 3D view.
7. Once the export process is complete, you'll have a non-3D CAD file that represents the contents of the 3D view in Revit.
By following these simple steps, you can easily export non-3D CAD files from a 3D view in Revit. This capability can be invaluable for sharing information with team members who may not have access to Revit or for incorporating Revit models into larger CAD workflows.
In addition to sharing the non-3D CAD files with others, you can also use them for documentation purposes. For example, you can include the exported non-3D CAD files in construction documents or client presentations to provide a clear representation of the 3D view from Revit.
Furthermore, exporting non-3D CAD files from a 3D view in Revit allows you to collaborate more effectively with consultants, contractors, and other stakeholders who may use different CAD software. By providing them with non-3D CAD files, you can ensure that everyone has access to the information they need to contribute to the project.
In conclusion, being able to export non-3D CAD files from a 3D view in Revit is an essential skill for anyone working with Revit models. Whether for collaboration, documentation, or communication, this capability opens up new possibilities for sharing and utilizing Revit data. Give it a try and see how it can enhance your workflow!
