Export Revit sheets with Rhino inside Revit

[Lawand_Noa_man]

I have been playing with RiR for the past few weeks and have loved it so far. I was wondering if there is a way to turn a sheet element into curves or any other way of exporting sheets from Revit and importing them into Rhino automatically (non-raster).

In Revit this is done via Export to DWG, Rhino can import the linework from that format using Rhino 8 import component.

export the sheets manually to dwg file inside revit, then import them into rhino

Is that what you’re referring to?

[Japhy]

Correct. Revit does its version of ‘Make2D’ during the export process.

Import/Export DWG?

Not at this time. Those are fairly complicated processes, not your typical revit UI button. The import method provided by Revit API isn’t too bad. File Path DWGImportOptions View DWGImportOptions has about 10 variables that need to be constructed; Placement, OrientToView, Units, Visible Layers, Scale… DWGexport is more complex, where you’re getting views, sheets, as well as settings.
