Revit 2015 (and if I knew what I know now, would have done it in 2014)

Have a complex project with 5 options and 5 different topo surfaces that need to go to the model maker.

PROBLEM:  They don't have 2015, only 2014 thanks for the continuing uncompatibility Revit!!!)  SO whet I have needs to be imported to CAD  (in what format??????) and I've been told the following: 

1)needs to match up with existing insert,

2) contours must be continuous and pass through buildings,

3) "roads" (the subregions denoting paved areas on site) must be continuous polylines.

Now, I've tried to export ONLY the toposurface and that was not working for me.  Does ANYONE have a solution as to HOW to import this?????  I'm afraid I'll be here until the end of the weekend (It's TUESDAY) connecting the dots in CAD because the topolines don't seem to be importing continuously.

We always tell users that they must think ahead and confirm Revit release with all of their consultants prior to starting a project.  If these people have a legit Revit license, they should be able to install 2015.   Even if they don't. they can install and use as a viewer.  Obviously, you can export CAD files anyway including a siteplan with contours.
