Question about export to Shared views

[benschilders]

Sometimes we like to share a 3D model with our clients using the Shared Views function (located under the Collaborate tab) , now we have the problem that walls that are joined and looking perfectly in Revit (native 3D view ) and section are unjoined in the online browser view ...

See some screenshots to clarify our problem, if anyone knows or there are other options to export without loss of joins that would be really helpfull...

How we want it to look (how it does in Revit 3D):

How it looks in section view (also correct how we want to detail it and everything):
A = standard wall construction
B = standard wall construction but with a layer of aerated concrete blocks 
C = flat roof 

A & C are joined to create the correct connection (the concrete slab wich 
lays on the construction wall layer A) 

A & B are joined to create a seamless brickwork on the outside , wich works fine in Revit 

The problem:
In the online viewer all joins are getting unjoined even the one desbribed above... 
(We both tried putting the project on BIM360 and using the standard Collaborate shared views function, both workflows give the same crapy result...) 

PS:
Sorry if something is not clear, English is not my native tongue.

Also tried exporting as: OBJ, FBX, 3d DWG, IFC and then uploading to the Autodesk viewer, all got the same result as above

In Autodesk Viewer as in  ACC, you can disable "Display edges" in the Settings-Configuration tab. Downside, you will lose the outline of all edges.

Thanks for your reply. I had already found this “solution,” and I’ll communicate it the same way to the clients who receive the 3D views.

However, I hope you don’t mind that I won’t mark it as a real solution (for now).
Disabling all the edges makes the model far less appealing than when right edges are visible.

Hopefully, Autodesk will fix this little quirk someday,
or at least add a function to specifically hide the join lines.

I also tried adjusting those problematic lines by setting different common lines, but it seems
common lines only apply to floorplans, not 3D views.

If you know of any other good way to export a 3D model without this issue—so clients can review it properly—I’d be glad to hear it.

The only other option I can think of trying is publishing the 3D view in a BIM 360 project.

I suspect the same problem will occur, but maybe it will give the desired result.

Thanks again for your response!

@lucdoucet_msdl Accepted your reaction as a soulution, seems that this is the best way to share a 3D view with clients 
(without looking at other third party softwares...) 

Hope that Autodesk maybe one day makes a better export configuration. 
(offcourse there are way bigger problems to fix first, wich they are trying to do).
