Hi all,

 

I have this family (floor drain) plumbing fixtures

 

after inserting it to a project , I export the view to CAD but this family shifts from it's original location to another location this happened only when the model display set to (wireframe), but one I set the model display to hidden line the export is well

 

 

thanks

Hello @A_MAQ,

 

I looked at your family and placed it in my project.

It is a face based family.

when exporting to CAD I don't experience the shifting behavior.  

 

What is the host of your drain.

What is you shift the host.

Hello,

 

This is a known bug.

When exporting to DWG avoid using wireframe.

Hello @A_MAQ,

 

I checked the link from @fabiosato.

LOL.

 

Patient to doctor: "My shoulder hurts when I do this."

 

Doctor: "Don't do that."

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

Hello Robert,

 

So far we didn´t test, because most of our projects are in 2015 and 2016.
