ARCHIBUS Smart Client Extension for Revit

Publishing Enterprise Graphics from Revit

You can publish enterprise graphics directly from Revit without going through the extra ‘export’ step. You can publish to SVG, GIS, and KML directly from Revit. You can use the "Export to DWG Format," but exporting to DWG is not a required step for the publishing operation. See Exporting to DWG.

You must have rooms in your Revit model before you can publish enterprise graphics.

When you publish your CAD or BIM drawings as ARCHIBUS enterprise graphics, the drawing publishing rules control the format of the graphic (SVG, GIS, and KML) that is generated. In addition, the various graphic types offer options for fine-tuning how the enterprise graphics are generated. Typically, a site will determine the way that they want to publish the enterprise graphics and use these settings for all drawing publishing. However, it is possible to change settings for individual executions of drawing publishing. To specify these settings, you use the Options button, available on the Publish Enterprise Graphics form.

Procedure - Publishing 2D Enterprise Graphics from Revit

To export to SVG, GIS, and KML Format:

1. Invoke the ARCHIBUS / Enterprise Graphics / Publish 2D command.

   The Publish Enterprise Graphics dialog appears.
   
   

2. Select to publish only the current level (Current Level Only selection), or all levels in the current model (All Levels in Model selection.)

   Note: Unlike AutoCAD, the Revit implementation doesn’t support the following options: Extents, Floor Boundary, Current View, and Named View.
