RVT to DWG Converter

About This Tool

This tool converts Revit RVT models into DWG drawings to support cross-platform collaboration between BIM and CAD workflows. It processes geometry, view representations, and key metadata to produce a usable CAD file while offering configurable options for layers, units, and object translation. The converter prioritizes geometric fidelity and coordinate accuracy, enabling design reviews, coordination meetings, and production documentation in environments where AutoCAD is the standard. Conceptually, it analyzes RVT geometry, view definitions, and coordinate systems, then reconstructs equivalent CAD entities at the target drawing scale. It applies unit conversion based on project settings, optionally flattens hierarchy, and exports to the chosen DWG version. Advanced users can control layer naming, color assignment, and block preservation. Unique value includes automated layer mapping from BIM categories to DWG layers, and a batch mode for multiple files. It performs consistency checks, handles nested families, and logs potential issues for post-processing. The tool is designed to minimize manual translation work, preserve spatial relationships, and keep file sizes reasonable for typical project teams. Use cases include design reviews, coordination sessions, and construction documentation where CAD tooling is preferred for detailing or printing. Core features focus on accurate geometry translation, scalable performance, and compatibility with standard BIM/CAD pipelines.
