Publish DGN to Autodesk® Buzzsaw

Export the current design to a DGN file, and publish it to Autodesk® Buzzsaw.

  1. Click Publish DGN to Autodesk® Buzzsaw.
  2. In the DGN Publish dialog, if the desired setup is not listed under Select Export Setup, select a different one from the drop-down list. To modify the selected setup or create a new one, click (Modify Export Setup); otherwise, skip to step 5.
    The left panel of the Modify DGN Export Setup dialog lists all existing export setups. Settings for the currently selected setup display on the tabs. Use the following controls to manage setups:
    New Export Setup. Uses default settings.
    Duplicate Export Setup. Creates new setup using settings from the currently selected setup.
    Rename Export Setup. Prompts you to specify new name for currently selected setup.
    Delete Export Setup. Deletes the selected setups (except for the default <in session export setup> which cannot be deleted).
  3. In the Modify DGN Export Setup dialog, specify export options on the following tabs as needed, and then click OK.
  4. In the DGN Publish dialog, specify which views and sheets to publish.
    If you want to publish… Then…
    a single view for Export, select <Current View/Sheet Only>.
    multiple views and sheets for Export, select <In session view/sheet set>, and then select the views and sheets to export (see About Creating View and Sheet Sets).
  5. If you are ready to publish, click Publish. (Or click Save Settings to save the current export settings and close the dialog without publishing.)
  6. In the Publish to Autodesk® Buzzsaw dialog, under Autodesk® Buzzsaw Sites, select the site to which you want to publish project files.

    If you need to add a new Autodesk® Buzzsaw location, click Add. For instructions, see Add a New Autodesk® Buzzsaw Location.

  7. Enter a name, or accept the default name, for the exported file.
  8. For Naming, select an option for the automatically generated file name.
  9. Click Publish.

Revit generates a DGN file and posts it on the specified Autodesk® Buzzsaw site.

Note: Solid geometry in a 3D view always exports to DGN as a polymesh.
