Export Rooms and Areas as Polylines

When exporting AutoCAD files, you can export rooms and areas as closed polylines.

The exported polylines match the boundaries of rooms in Revit. The room boundaries are exported onto a single layer. That layer is turned off by default in the AutoCAD file.

The polylines include the following XDATA information for room boundaries: Name, Number, Occupancy, Occupant, Department, and Comments. The polylines include the following information for area boundaries: Name and Comments.

1. Open a plan view or a section view that includes rooms.
2. In a Revit project, click ExportCAD Formats (DWG) or (DXF).
3. In the In the DWG (or DXF) Export dialog, click (Modify Export Setup).
4. On the General tab of the Modify DWG/DXF Export Setup dialog, select Export rooms and areas as polylines.
5. Complete the export process as described under Exporting to DWG or DXF.
