To Publish an Architectural Model to a Design Package File

An architect prepares the architectural model in Autodesk Revit Architecture, applies the corresponding templates, visibility settings and filters, and then publishes the model to the design package file (.adsk). The imported model represents a gross area footprint of the building, with property and utility connection points.

The following high-level procedure is performed by an architect in Autodesk Revit Architecture to prepare the architectural model for sharing with Autodesk Civil 3D.

1. Prepare and simplify the file in Autodesk Revit Architecture. Apply a Civil Engineering View template and related visibility settings and filters.
2. Launch the Export Module and specify export settings. Specify a footprint level, location, base point, and the number of building model elements to export.
3. Save the file. Specify the file location and file name.
4. View the Export Building Site report that lists a summary of the output contents.
