Exporting to Other Formats

 
If you have established ways of working with vector- or pixel-based artwork, you can always export Revit views and use them as backdrops for your artistry. On the Export menu, you’ll find CAD .dwg, .dxf, .dgn, and .sat formats. You can also export any view as an image file using the Export Image option. Supported formats include .bmp, .jpeg, .png, .targa, and .tiff.
Once you’ve made edits to the exports in applications such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Piranasi, feel free to re-import the artwork and place it on sheets with your other views.
For rendering purposes, you can export a Revit file to .dwg format and link it into 3ds Max. In addition to the geometry, the DWG file also contains information about the materials in the model and to what elements the materials are applied. This information is available only if you link the DWG file into 3ds Max. All the materials and their applications in the model are stored in an XML data schema that 3ds Max can read. Figure 12.37 shows a model that started in Revit, was exported to a DWG file, and was finally linked into 3ds Max.
