Hey all,

I have been trying to get 3D information from Autodesk® Revit® into 3Dpdf.

The onscreen render engine has been changed to DirectX so capture doesn't work.
Exporting to FBX is way too large, and the file ends up all one colour.
IFC works, except Topography is suspect.

The best results by far are .dwf format, except that railings are often several huindred meters out of place. This means that the model is not visible unless you can find and delete the railings via the 3D reviewer.

Other packages can successfully open the dwf format, so I guess the .dwf translator is somehow broken.

Does anyone have a workable solution?

If at first you don't succeed,
Try harder, untill you bleed!!?!

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro Extended 9.3.1, Windows

Additional to the issues with railings and topography, opening a dwf in Acrobat Pro extended brings the geometry in with x and y axes swapped.

Is there any easy way to flip axes in either acrobat or 3d reviewer?
