I use Bluebeam 2017 but I have tried a number of exporters including the DWF export.  When I open the file, my curves have all been turned into polygons.

What am I doing wrong?

I have played with the settings extensively and can only put it down to bad vector plotting from Revit.

I could be wrong, but in my opinion you are still much better off printing shaded views to raster.

I hope someone has a better solution that elegantly plots shaded views in vector format.

Revit will automatically print shaded views in raster format.... after all, there are no lines in shaded areas.

I have semi-transparent trees over floors with a shade and a surface pattern. When visual style is set to 'consistent colours', everything prints as a vector - just a very bad one.

I just wanted to post an update that Revit 2019 is significantly better at this process. I still get some polygons but semi-transparent materials overlayed are showing really well as vectors.
