Hey everyone, so when I go to export my REVIT drawing to 3D .dwg, When I open the 3d model in Auto CAD, the gridlines on the ceiling do not come accross. Does anyone know how to make the gridlines export and show up in the .dwg that I create. Please take a look at the images if this does not make sense. Thanks for your time!!!!

That's interesting, your right!  You could place a 3d transparent fill overtop of your ceiling.  Not a nice work around but it should work.

Any more ideas or solutions about this? I haven't found a satisfactory one yet. It is an important issue with coordinating with engineering consultants.

I have heard of using sloped glazing to mimic the ceiling grid. Or to use "pick lines" and draw lines over top of all the ceiling grid. Both of those options create a lot more work for the architecture team. Or We could do 2D export showing the grid, and a 3D export showing the ceiling heights. That creates a lot more work for the MEP team linking in the files.

Has anyone come up with something clever to do here?
