Export Rooms and Areas as Polylines

When exporting a Revit view to an AutoCAD file (DWG or DXF format), 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. Click File tab ExportCAD Formats (DWG) or (DXF).
3. 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 Export to DWG or DXF.
