how to export Revit element to Autocad (DWG) as a block

When exporting the structural components from Revit, it didn't created any blocks.

 

Once I had exported it, it did. But I don't know what did I do, it automatically created blocks. Like a column I created in Revit, it turned into blocks in CAD.

 

But now it only turned into line and hatch, which is I didnt wish

While exporting, go to export setup>> solids>> choose ACIS solids.

Sorry, what I mentioned is related to 3D. I didn't notice your attachements.

 

Your problem can be solved by editing each family that is exported exploded and tick the option "Always export as geometry".

I tried to delete the floor and some works out

but it doesnt work out if I only uncheck the floor in visibility, it only works if I delete all floors..

maybe it has something to do with the floor or something?

you have any idea?

here, only some column turned it blocks after I delete the floor/slab above level

I want to know if these columns are below the slab.

If they are below the slab, how could you see them? are you exporting from wire framed view? is the floor transparent?

yes the slab (ref. to 2nd floor) is above the column, I was exporting on zero level.

I remember, once I was able to exported them all to blocks,

dont know what's wrong, unable to do it now..

Hello,

 

Just wondering if anybody came up with a solution. I do electrical work so Fire Alarm is always part of it.  At the end of the project we always need to send the FA cad files to the vendor so they can do the submittal and it is really terrible that all FA devices are exploded. Thank you!
