Unexpected elevation values on exported DWG-sections from Revit

Hello!

 

When exporting sections to DWG from Revit 2015 I get WCS-zero point from true origin/base point instead of survey point when choosing Shared as export option.

This is not what I expect, because when exporting a Plan I get WCS-zeropoint from Survey point when choosing Shared as export option.

And this is also not what I want, because I'm using survey point to text the heights, so I want the DWG to give that values when taking an ID in Autocad.

 

Anyone knows why Revit export is behaving like this? And if there is a way to make Revit export in my preferred way?

 

Se attached images for my test-environment.

In Autocad.png a ID is taken in on of the lower corners, and the value is 1500 (ignore the decimals).

 

Best regards /Gustav

Hello!

 

Thank you for your answer and the thread.

When I read it I didn't really find the answer.

 

The problem is specifically when exporting Sections.

 

When exporting a 3D-dwg with export setting shared it gives the value 2500 (at the lower corner) as WCS (see picture TEST 3D_shared.png), which is the value relative to the Survey Point.

This is the way I'm expecting the Sections export to behave as well (with export setting shared), but sections is exported with elevations relative to the "true origin" (Project internal), as mentioned in the preciously post.
