Use the Import Building Site command to import architectural model data from Autodesk Revit Architecture to AutoCAD Civil 3D in a collaborative design project.
By implementing the seamless data exchange between Autodesk Revit Architecture and AutoCAD Civil 3D, a site design team can
- Finalize the site plans before the architectural design has been completed.
- Obtain enough information to start preparing the site for construction.
- Reduce the communication cycle between architectural and civil engineering teams.
Importing Architectural Data Workflow
Topics in this section
- Publishing a Design Package File
Use Autodesk Revit Architecture to prepare and publish an architectural model package file.
- Preparing for Importing a Design Package File
Close interaction of architects and civil engineers is important when sharing data between Autodesk Revit Architecture and AutoCAD Civil 3D.
- Import a Building Site Model
Use the Import Building Site wizard to bring the architectural model, created in Autodesk Revit Architecture, into AutoCAD Civil 3D, confirm and compare the building site units the Civil drawing units, and specify the object insertion point.
- Creating a Building Site Style
Use the building site style to determine the display properties of the building site object components, such as building footprint, property lines, utilities, site model, and building model.
- Editing a Building Site Style
Edit the building site style that determines the display properties of the building site object components, such as building footprint, property lines, utilities, site model, and building model.
- Modifying a Building Site Object in the Drawing
Use the EditBuildingSite command to edit the properties of the building site object in the drawing.
- Updating a Building Site Object Definition
Use the UpdateBuildingSite command to update the building site object that was imported into the drawing.
- Building Site Command Reference
You can use commands to quickly access the functionality of the Building Site object.
