The clip compares the prepared Revit model with its exported DWG in AutoCAD. It does not show a new AI export run. Choose a Revit 3D view containing the model you want to bring into AutoCAD. The DWG carries the exported geometry; Revit families, constraints and building-element relationships do not become equivalent AutoCAD features.
1

Choose the 3D view

Open the Revit project and select it in Studio’s Connected Apps menu. Identify the exact 3D view to export. Check its visible categories and section box so the export contains the intended model.The Garden Office source model in a full Revit window, with the named 3D review view selected.
2

Specify the export

Specify any required layer mapping or export setup. If the downstream task requires editable solids, ask for that explicitly and inspect the resulting entity types before relying on them.
3

Open the DWG in AutoCAD

Open the exported file in AutoCAD and select it in Connected Apps. Switch to an isometric view, check the units and measure a known dimension. Select several objects and inspect their entity types and layers.In the Garden Office example, the exported DWG reopened with millimetre units, seven 3D solids and ten block references. A block reference can contain multiple entities, so inspect its contents when checking a particular part of the model.The exported Garden Office model open in a complete AutoCAD window, with its walls, roof and doors visible.
4

Check the delivery

Compare the building extent, heights and openings with the Revit model. Check any external reference files before sharing the DWG.Save any AutoCAD edits separately. They do not update the Revit source automatically; regenerate the export when the source model changes.For a 2D delivery, export a named floor plan, elevation or sheet instead. Review its crop, annotations and layer mapping, then compare the DWG with that view.
