Introduction
Revit is a powerful tool for creating detailed building models, but when it comes to converting those models into AutoCAD DWG files, the process can be time-consuming and tedious. That's where the RVT 2 DWG Suite comes in – a set of conversion utilities that streamline the conversion process and ensure that your DWG files meet specific CAD standards. In this review, we will delve into the features and benefits of the RVT 2 DWG (PWGSC Atlantic) plugin, designed for users who need to convert Revit models to AutoCAD files that adhere to the PWGSC Atlantic standard.
Features and Benefits
The RVT 2 DWG Suite offers a comprehensive solution for converting Revit models to AutoCAD DWG files while maintaining control over layers, line types, hatching, text, and more. This plugin goes beyond the basic Revit Export to CAD option by providing customized conversion utilities tailored to different government departments and commercial clients. Whether you are an architect, engineer, or interior decorator, if you rely on Revit for production drafting, the RVT 2 DWG plugin can save you valuable time and effort.
One of the key advantages of the RVT 2 DWG Suite is its ability to convert Revit objects to AutoCAD layers closely aligned with the desired CAD standard. Additionally, the plugin addresses common issues encountered during the conversion process, such as text styles, dimension styles, layers, hatch patterns, and other elements that can become distorted when exporting from Revit to AutoCAD.
How It Works
The conversion process with RVT 2 DWG (PWGSC Atlantic) is divided into three steps. First, users are guided on how to use pre-built Revit families specific to the PWGSC Atlantic standard, including title blocks, markers, and other elements necessary for compliance. Next, the Revit Export to CAD conversion utility is employed to map Revit objects to AutoCAD layers as closely as possible to the desired standard. Finally, the plugin's conversion utility cleans up the DWG file created by Revit, ensuring that it meets the quality assurance requirements for submission.
Installation support for the RVT 2 DWG Suite is provided free of charge, with optional product support available for purchase. Upon purchasing the software, users will receive an install key via email, which is required to activate the plugin. It is important to note that before submitting DWG files to PWGSC, users must run a quality assurance check and ensure compliance with the PWGSC Color Tables for printing.
