How to export shadows in DWG files

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone, can someone kindly help me? When I export an elevations with shadows from revit to a dwg files how can I do to have in autocad a layer of that? Because it export with all layers just the elevations without that. At the export moment the shadows are switched on. Thank you very much

You can't. But you can export shadows to DWF or Image and underlay/overlay in AutoCAD Drawing.

thanks for answering, i did it but really does not exist an automatic command to have a layer (with polyline or hatch) of the shadows or something like that?

Correct, I don't think there is a way to do this automatically. However, this may help overlaying the shadows to the vector. Revit to DWG + Revit to PDF and then combine the two (remember to check the raster images option)

At least it will give you an insertion point to work with.
