Convert RTV to DWG

Understanding the rtv and dwg file formats

RTV files are typically associated with Revit add-ins or plugins, often used for project management or reporting within Autodesk Revit. These files are not standard 2D or 3D drawing files, but rather contain data or settings related to Revit projects.

DWG is a widely used file format for AutoCAD and other CAD software. It stores 2D and 3D design data and is the industry standard for CAD drawings.

How to convert rtv to dwg

Direct conversion from RTV to DWG is not typically possible, as RTV files do not contain drawing data. However, if your RTV file is associated with a Revit project, you can export the relevant project views or sheets to DWG format using Autodesk Revit.

Best software for rtv to dwg conversion

The recommended software for this process is Autodesk Revit. Here’s how you can export your project to DWG:

• Open your project in Autodesk Revit.
• Go to File → Export → CAD Formats → DWG.
• Select the views or sheets you want to export.
• Adjust export settings as needed and click OK to save the DWG file.

If your RTV file is not directly linked to a Revit project, you may need to consult the software or plugin that created the RTV file for further export options.

Tips for successful conversion

• Ensure you have access to the original Revit project associated with the RTV file.
• Check export settings in Revit to maintain layer and object fidelity in the DWG file.
• If you encounter issues, consult the documentation for your RTV plugin or contact their support.
