A good compromise could be if Revit used the z vaule in Revit as the y value in the dwg when exporting sections and elevations.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06614619679919892218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-26024178433409485562016-01-13T08:08:49.207-08:002016-01-13T08:08:49.207-08:00First, the exported DWG that Revit creates for an ...First, the exported DWG that Revit creates for an elevation <i>drawing</i> uses the Plan orientation of Model Space.

Thank you for taking the time to reply ...Hi Steve,<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question. I agree sections and elevations usually are not drawn at real elevations. The reason I am trying to achieve this is that a project I am involved in requires the elevations in sections and to be at the real elevations.<br /><br />Can you elaborate a bit on your last paragraph? I'm not quite sure what you meant there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06614619679919892218noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-31287636088165250702016-01-12T09:00:19.162-08:002016-01-12T09:00:19.162-08:00It's my observation that Revit exports section...It's my observation that Revit exports section and elevation views ignoring the Shared Coordinates option. If you export from a 3D view using a Section box you can get section of the model to respect its location in all three axis.<br /><br />I suspect the reason that Revit works this way has to do with how we create such DWG files ourselves using AutoCAD. Most of the elevations and sections DWG's I've ever encountered or created myself are not drawn at a real elevation, relative to the file's origin. Not only that but most are not drawn in a view orientation other than Plan. <br /><br />As such, if Revit exported the elevations at their actual elevation and position (X,Y,Z) it is quite likely we'd have to move them into position regardless.Stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14230364057800484763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9240097.post-45637002750920848822016-01-12T06:42:41.762-08:002016-01-12T06:42:41.762-08:00Hi Steve,

Hope this is ok with you. Thank you in advance. I am posting my issue below:<br /><br />I am trying to export a section view to dwg using Shared coordinates in the Export Setup, but it seems Revit uses the Project Base point (or Startup location?) for the elevation.<br /> <br />Am I missing something obvious here?<br /> <br />My exports of plan views works fine as the coordinates I get when checking the dwg in AutoCAD correseponds to my Shared Coordinates in Revit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06614619679919892218noreply@blogger.com
