Has anyone had any luck exporting a Revit 3D model directly to Acrobat 3D? I can't seem to get it to work.I can export to AutoCAD and then to Acrobat 3D, but I lose all embedded Revit information.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm currently working on a project that requires modelling in revit but exporting the final drawings in Autocad format. As a requirement from my client, I am demanded to export the entire paper space into the model space as Autocad entities.
When I export the drawing, the composition that I model in Revit is shown in the paper space, Is there a way to automatically export this composition into the model space?

I'm not a Maya user, but our employee that is, is out of the office. I have models I need to export as OBJ models but I'm having issues.
I've enabled the plugin for the objExport.mil by checking Loaded and Auto Load.
I go to Export All and locate where to export the file.
It exports a 1kb file with nothing in it.
Why won't it export the OBJ?

I have a human figure, created in Maya, which has been rigged with both bones and muscles.
After it has been posed, is it possible to export the skin of this model without it losing definition from the lack of the maya bones/muscles?
I know that it can be exported to Mudbox, but is this the only place it can be exported?
I am trying to find a way to reproduce a model created in Maya (or Mudbox for that matter) as a physical object (via 3D printing).
Yet no one seems to have much experience with this, and tools like "Inventor" don't seem to like working with things that are not solids (i.e. not polygon meshes, sub-divs, or NURBs).
I have a very simple Inventor 2013 CAD model that I tried to export to an STL and the scale of the STL is not 1:1. I have tried changing all of the units and setting 100 different ways and I still cannot get it to export to a 1:1 scale for 3D printing. What is the deal with this I cannot believe it is this difficult.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a large model that I'm trying to export to .dae to use in Torque3D. The problem is when I export it, I loose all of the textures. I read that in order to export the model properly I have to change the map# of the textures to be within a certain range?
I tried just exporting a single object from the model but when I export I receive warnings/errors saying that It was not able to apply the texture map# 20 because it is not supported outside of 3ds max..
I want to export a layout as a dwg file. Why do I want to do this? I got a drawing, and they put some stuff on the layout, so I want to export the layout so I can then work in the new file in the model area? Do you get what I mean?
Also, If I make a layout, I put my Firm Logo and information in the layout. If I send this to another firm, which isnt using Autocad, they than can only see the model area, so If I can export it into 1 file, in the model area, they cann see the whole thing.
In attempting to use either 'export face as' or 'export sketch as' from a solid model in Inventor 2013 the resultant DXF file ALWAYS consists of PolyLines. This prevents other "downstream" software from properly importing the file as a DXF. Thus far the ONLY work-around I have found is to open the DXF in AutoCAD, Explode the polylines, and then re-save as a DXF from AutoCAD.
View 8 Replies View RelatedNo problems so far when I check the "Export views on sheets and links as external references" but when I do not check that box some dimension strings move ridiculously far away from the location as seen in Revit. This project is huge and we do not want XREFs for every single sheet (DWG file). Each view on the sheet is exported as a DWG block. I could modify each view with this problem, but it beats the point of exporting. Attached is a sample file.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm able to export all Areas to IFC using Revit 2013 and the IFC Exporter V2.14 (found in Autodesk Exchange Apps). Using Revit 2014 and the newest IFC Exporter V3.6 (also from Autodesk Exchange Apps), I've been able to export only Gross Building Areas, not the Rentable Areas.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been looking for a site / tutorial that outlines a detailed workflow for exporting a model from Revit and into 3ds Max for rendering and animation.
I'm particularly interested in how best to set a model up in revit to make this process less painful - particularly around material assignments, mapping etc. so that I can switch from the multi-material (using material IDs) setup that comes into Max over to the Architectural & Design materials.
Is there a setting to export the grid lines of ACT ceiling in a 3D view to DWG?
I don't know if there is because I can't even get the grid lines to show in a 3d view. Right now the view shows the ACT ceiling as a simple geometric shape.
I was wondering if there was a way in the DWG export layer dialog to change the layers like the "existing" and "demo" to a prefix, instead of a suffix.
Currently, for existing phases, when i export to DWG, let's say the topography, is said to be SITE-TOPO-EXIS, but I want to make it EX-SITE-TOPO.
It is set up as "-EXIS" which will add EXIS to all the layers in the existing phase towards the end.
If i changed it to "EX-" that just adds EX- at the end of the layer name in the phase.
Anyway so i can put that in the beginning of all the layer name for the phase?
I don't want to go into AutoCAD and use the _RENAME command if there is a lot of file to change.
when i export a sheet with several floor plans, sections and elevation of the same building to autocad, I get a dwg file with the sheet's annotation in layout and and all the drawings are in viewports, which is great, but the problem is that all the plans are one on top of the other in every viewport. is there a way to see the sheet in autocad as it is in revit - every floor plan in its view port?
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe build our models in Sketchup. Export a 3d DWG and import that into Revit 2014 (through Conceptual mass). That way we can export sections etc from Revit.
The problem is that Revit sees the 3D DWG as a Mass, and therefore don export the layers we want to AutoCad.
Is there a way to "explode" the 3D DWG in Revit so it gets divided in to the layers we had before it was transformed into a Mass. So the layers follows the DWG export to Autocad?
I am trying to export part of a structural model to IFC but Revit is exporting the complete model. My file is from a consultant and is created in Revit Structure 2011, I am opening it with Revit 2012. The model contains ‘new’ and ‘existing’ phases which appear to be set up correctly.
I have tried a couple of different methods set up a 3D view and defined it by phase 'new only' so the existing is hidden, and tried to export with the “current view only” checked and uncheckedset up a 3D view and defined it by workset using visibility graphics, and again with the “current view only” checked and uncheckedEach time when I open the Model in Navisworks or Solibri everything is visible.Have tried this in both Struct and Arch with the same result, but I do not have the same issue if I open and export from Revit 2011 (arch) ?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWe are still on Revit 2012 and from my understanding, there were some improvements in the way Revit exports to CAD files. I'm sure most of you would agree that the export to AutoCAD feature is still a long way off. I wanted some opinions on my thoughts on how to minimize some of the errors that I recieve when I open the exported CAD files.
My problems really pertain to linetypes and hatch patterns. If I do not map any of the patterns to a standard AutoCAD linetype or hatch pattern file, then I get an error reading pattern message if I want to check out the pattern in AutoCAD. I am very inclined to wipeout all of the standard fill patterns and linestyles in Revit and make new ones based on the standard AutoCAD lines and hatches. Does this seem reasonable?
I would like to export to dwg using my own layer standards. I see that you can load settings from file. it looks for a .txt file. how do I create a layer standard into a .txt file? is it something I need to do in CAD? how do I create an "export layer file (*.txt)" based on my office standards layering system

The Revit 2011 Navisworks Exporter plugin works fine for exporting files for Navisworks Manage (.nwc). The problem is that those files can't be opened in Navisworks freedom until they are converted to a .nwd file. Can the .nwd be generated directly from the plugin? Both NWD and NWC are shown in the Navisworks Options Editor for the plugin, but only a .nwc is generated.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am trying to export my floor plan to dwg file and I have curtain wall there which have panels as regular wall types. The problem is that exporting it will put those panels on the wall layer. I need them to be on curtain wall panel layer. I tried to use "Function" parameter in wall family by changing certain wall types to Retaining (since I don't use this parameter) and changed Wall/Retaining category layer to curtain panel in dwg export setup. But it seems it has no effect.I also noticed that walls inserted as panels into curtain wall do have a parameter under "Identity Data" with the name "Categorize as" where are two values - wall or panel. But this does not have any effect either since there is no category for it in export setup.

When I apply an Vray material to my linked Revit file the material appears extremely large and I cant fix it either by playing around with the scaling of the material or UVW-mapping. I have made sure that both my Revit model and 3DS max are both set to mm.
The scale of the material applied in Revit has the right proportions etc. Its just when I apply a new Vray material it goes wrong.
I am in the process of drawing up an existing building and firstly am setting up with the building mass. I have managed to get the main bodys of the building done and the main roof.The problem now is that when i switch too the east or west elevations to add mass for the roofs on the adjoining wings of the building it wont let me see the model lines when i draw them in the screen i just get an error message " None of the created elements are visible in Elevation: East View. You may want to check the active view, its Parameters, and Visibility settings. "I have my reference line set not far from the building and it seemed fine when i done the roof from the north and south views for the main building. I can see the model lines when i switch too 3D views but i cant create the mass from there.
