you can export in 3D view mode your columns by tick ACIS solid and it will become solid in autocad?

if you want then in 2D format, use the Export to DWG option (File > Export > CAF Formats > DWG) and select a Plan View from the list.

If you select a Plan View, everything should export in 2D.
If you pick a 3D view, everything will export in 3D.

Hi @4ukunam,

When you have your view open in Revit, whether this is a plan view or section view, go to:

File->Export->CAD Formats->DWG

Save the view as a DWG file.

In AutoCAD, load it as a Xref to your project or to a Block editor.

Thanks,

Eli.
