■ Export as ACIS solids . This option exports all visible Revit Architecture geometry as ACIS 3D solids. Any
elements that are already polymeshes remain as polymeshes, such as toposurfaces and import symbols
that contain polymeshes.
Export Rooms and Areas as Polylines
In the Export Options dialog, the Export Rooms and Areas as Polylines option indicates whether rooms and
areas are exported as closed polylines. You can use this option only when rooms or areas are defined in the
views to be exported.
■ Area polylines are generated from area plan views only. See Area Analysis on page 945.
■ Room polylines are generated from floor plan or ceiling plan views only. See Rooms on page 913.
For rooms, the exported polylines match the boundaries of rooms in Revit Architecture. The room boundaries
are exported onto a single layer, and that layer is turned off by default in the AutoCAD 2009 file. The polylines
include the following XDATA information for room boundaries: Name, Number, Occupancy, Occupant,
Department, and Comments.
For areas, the polylines include the following information for area boundaries: Name and Comments.
NOTE You can select Export Rooms and Areas as Polylines when exporting to DXF or DWG. This option is not
available when exporting to DGN or SAT.
Enable DGN Template File
In the Export Options dialog, select Enable DGN Template File when you want to use a template (a
MicroStation seed file) for the exported DGN file. Then click Load to navigate to and load the template.
Revit Architecture exports the project to a DGN file using the settings in the specified template.
If you do not use a DGN template file, Revit Architecture exports the project to a DGN file using default
settings.
NOTE You can select Enable DGN Template File when exporting to DGN only. This option is not available when
exporting to DWG, DXF, or SAT.
Exporting Part of a 2D View

in the following procedure. Then export the view to the appropriate format.
To export part of a 2D view
1 In the Project Browser, right-click the view to export, and click Duplicate View

Duplicate or
Duplicate with Detailing.
The Duplicate command copies the view. The Duplicate with Detailing command copies the
view and includes view-specific elements, such as detail components and dimensions.
