Revit 2015 Exporting to AutoCAD DWG.
If you want to convert 3D Revit to 3D Autocad DWG, we have a simple and easy process.
Open a Revit model, click on the Application menu, Export CAD format, then select dwg from the export.
- In the CADFormats menu, click on the three dots that open as modify DWG/DXF export setup from the display dialogue box.
- Click on the Solids tab> Select ACIS solids, then click Next.
- Again, click on Next to continue.
- A dialogue box appears that define the folder that looks like a new DWG. Give an appropriate name that you like to add. Now, click on OK and proceed with the conversion.
- On the lower-left side, you would see the Revit screen that shows the status bar for the progress of the conversion. As soon as it’s done, you’ll notice a new DWG.
- Additionally, keep in mind that the Revit to DWG files conversion would make the file larger, more than 50MB Revit convert into 70MB DWG.
- Now it’s time you can edit the converted file. Also, keep a note that objects are AutoCAD solids.

How do I export Revit layers to CAD?
Exporting Revit layers to CAD involves several steps:
Organize your Revit project: Ensure that your Revit project is properly organized with the elements you want to export placed on the appropriate layers.
Open the Revit project: Open your Revit project file.
Navigate to the Export Settings: In Revit, go to the “File” menu and select “Export” > “CAD Formats” > “DWG” or “DXF” depending on your preference.
Adjust Export Settings: In the export dialog box, adjust the export settings according to your requirements. This includes selecting the version of CAD format, specifying the export units, setting up layers, etc.
Layer Mapping: Revit allows you to map Revit categories to specific layers in the CAD file during export. You can customize these mappings to ensure that the elements in Revit are exported to the correct layers in the CAD file.
Export: Once you have configured the export settings and layer mappings, click the “OK” or “Export” button to begin the export process.
Save the CAD File: Choose a location and filename for the exported CAD file and save it.
