How to Export 3D Views of Revit Models from DWG to 2D Graphics
When working in Revit, displaying the 3D effect of a model is often necessary. However, if you directly export a 3D view from Revit to a DWG file, the result typically appears as a wireframe graphic, which is not visually appealing. Fortunately, this issue can be resolved by creating a drawing instead.
1. Start by using the Metric Conventional Model template. Create a new family file and design a rectangular prism with dimensions: Length = 3000mm, Width = 2000mm, and Height = 5000mm, as illustrated below.
2. Next, navigate to the View tab and select Drawing Combination. Within this panel, click the Drawings command to create a new A3-sized drawing. Then, drag the 3D view of the rectangular prism into the drawing. Set the 3D view to Hidden Line mode, as shown in the figure.
3. Export this drawing view to a DWG file, following the example provided.
4. Finally, open the exported DWG file to verify that the view is displayed in hidden line mode, as depicted in the image.
This method demonstrates that when axonometric renderings are needed, exporting directly from a 3D view results in a wireframe display. However, by placing the 3D view within a drawing and setting its visual style to hidden line mode before exporting, the DWG file will correctly show the hidden line rendering. This approach is more suitable for producing clean axonometric drawings and can be used effectively.
