Need to take Revit models to AutoCAD without losing any meta.. any good ideas?

Hi all,

 

I have been getting native Revit files from my architectural team and am finding a really hard time hear to bring those into the AutoCAD environment. Either I lose most of the parameters or there are several parts missing. Am i missing something here or do any one of you have a good idea on how to achieve this? 

Please let me know.

 

Thanks!!!

I don't understand the workflow. There's got to be more to it.  The Architectural team provides you with an RVT and then you open it in AutoCAD?  How?

I know of AutoCAD clones like ActCAD that offers a command that would allow you to attach a Revit file into the drawing environment.  But AutoCAD does not have such a feature.  So how are you bringing the Revit file into your AutoCAD environment?

Yes, that's my question. I am not able to Import the RFA's that I've received in AutoCAD 3D without retaining the dimensions and parameters. You know any other plugins or methods to achieve this?

I know of nothing that can do what you are describing.

Hi there,

 

Thanks for sharing that, i will give it a try. As of now, I have been suggested the BIMDeX plugins by some of my known colleagues and it seems that works well for them. I have anyway requested for a trial and would give out a try soon. See this - www.bimdex.com ...

Why don't you just use Revit?

You can export a 3D revit view to DWG to get the 3D model, and export 2D views/sheets to get the 2D drawings.  Nothing more than those.

Revit models can be exported to a dwg format in the file dropdown. That being said, it appears that none of the inherent data somes with it. In response to the question about why wouldn'r someone use revit instead of autocad? Cad still has several areas in which revit doesn't come close to having the capability to support. One is Process piping. Revit has does not have the ability to assign line numbers and develop fabrication isometrics based on those line numbers as is the industry standard.

I think you've been talking to the wrong people. Yes, those of us that have made the transition from an AutoCAD environment have had to make some concessions but mostly for presentation type stuff, not the information part. Someone is selling Revit short to you and exporting from Revit to AutoCAD is not gong to give you much in the way of intelligence. Process piping is very doable in Revit. Maybe not the way that you do it in AutoCAD but the advantages might be more than you think they are.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.
