Revit PDF & DWG Export Automation via APS
Developed an Autodesk Platform Services-based workflow for extracting PDF and DWG outputs from Revit models, including support for large zipped models, linked references, sheet publishing preparation, and export troubleshooting.
A cloud-connected export workflow focused on getting publish-ready outputs out of complex Revit model packages without relying on a fragile manual handoff.
Product Need
Teams needed to extract PDF and DWG outputs from Revit models without relying only on local Revit machines or manual publishing.
Experience Built
Built an APS-based workflow that processes Revit models, translates them through Model Derivative, and extracts drawing outputs such as PDFs and DWGs.
Portfolio Value
Reduced manual export effort, improved batch processing, and created a scalable cloud-based workflow for drawing extraction.
Feature Highlights
