please tell me whats the possible way to get exported objects(in dwg) should not contain inner lines(unwanted meshes). Firstly, After imported dwg or 3dm file of model in revit, i extracted 2d and the exported to dwg where i have to delete inner unwanted lines. (imported chair image attached for your reference)

So, please guide me any simple way. Thank you.

You need to use 3ds max to hide those extra edge. First you select the edit mesh and then select those mesh and click on invisible.

Then export to DXF or DWG

When you import into Revit, you will see those mesh hidden and only see silhouette.

For 3ds max it can be any format - DWG, OBJ, FBX. However when you export to CAD, you have to use DWG/DXF older format to make it work. I use 2004 and it works.

Thank you very much for your work for me.

 

Yeah its working now, we used DXF/DWG in 2004 format. But, few elements were missing after exporting to Revit.

 

So, please send screen capture of how you are doing. We checked most of your videos. We are not able to find this trick in that. Actually, sorry for disturbance. 

Can you please send video capture of your work or mention which video of your channel shows this helpful trick.

You have been so kind, Thanks for that. Your remarkable help is very unforgettable.
