Anyone experienced with Revit? I cannot for the life of me get stuff to export well from that program and I have an architect riding me hard to get a file printable. Anyone mind taking a look at this for me and tell me what the proper way to do this? Right now I just export as a .DWG.

When I import the files into SketchUp, they look clean but multiple copies of certain geometry gets mirror within each model, which will definitely create non-manifold geometry.

I make cookies for whoever helps me solve this.

I don’t have Revit but maybe this helps:
Plugin for Revit to export to STL

There are also tips on that page. For example to use blender…
I hope this helps you

Have you tried importing .DWG into Blender then exporting to .STL?

dwg, and check the solid mode under options of the export.

Don’t know bout sketchup, though, but this should work with solidworks.

Solidworks can also import IFC files, which are files used to communicate with BIM software.

DOn’t have Solidworks? I do!

I don’t actually have the program, I’m consulting for a client. Would anyone here give an export using the plugin @Frank_Opmeer linked?

Got an export done by a friend, still a ton of non-manifold geometry. Boo.
