Key Features
Save As SVG offers a range of features that make it a must-have plugin for any Revit user. One of the standout features is the ability to customize the color-coding of the SVG file. Users can easily identify different elements such as perimeter, cutouts, insets, texts, construction, and center lines by assigning specific colors to each. This not only improves the visual clarity of the design but also makes it easier to work with the SVG file in other applications.
Another notable feature of Save As SVG is the option to modify line weight and colors for all line types. Users can choose from a variety of colors including Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Magenta, White, Gray, and Black. This level of customization allows users to create SVG files that perfectly match their design preferences.
Save As SVG integrates seamlessly with the Revit interface, with the command conveniently available in the context menu of a sketch object in the browser tree. This makes it easy to access the plugin and convert designs into SVG files with just a few clicks. Additionally, the plugin works alongside the Save as DXF option provided by Autodesk Fusion, giving users more flexibility in how they export their designs.

How to Use Save As SVG
Using Save As SVG is straightforward and user-friendly. Simply select the sketch object you want to convert into an SVG file, right-click to access the context menu, and choose the Save As SVG option. You will then be prompted to enter a filename and location for the SVG file. The Color selection feature allows you to fill faces with corresponding colors for perimeter, cutouts, insets, or labels, enhancing the visual representation of your design.
Save As SVG supports the standard 96 ppi scale used by Fusion, browsers, and other modern applications. However, for compatibility with older applications such as Illustrator, users may need to adjust the scale to 72 ppi when importing the SVG file. This level of compatibility ensures that users can work with the SVG file in a variety of design programs without any issues.
