davebin Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I have recently reinstalled Revit Architecture on my Lap top. Everything seems to work fine with the exception of exporting. I'll select a piece of precast from the model, isolate it, go to export, change to ACIS solids and begin the export to drawing. Immediately in lower left hand corner I get 33%. But the blue wheel in the middle keeps spinning and gets no further until 2-5 minutes into the process if it completes it all. I've done this with no other programs running on the computer with a very similar result. I have my graphic card selected to on. My associates are exporting the same pieces and theirs are taking 2-10 seconds. I am running the latest (2014?) Revit from Design Suite Premium on a Windows 8.1 PC platform. I have a very new Toshiba Satellite lap tap with 22 gigs of Ram installed. Any Ideas? This is driving my boss (and myself) crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebin Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 I've exhausted the trouble shooting on this on my end. I've narrowed it down to the computers graphics card. recently I received a graphic card update from Intel. Something definitely changed on the computer, because before the update I could not use AutoCad with the graphics accelerator on, as when I drew, It would leave millions of ghost lines. Now I can draw with it on. I suspect it's not doing anything, and I suspect something in the graphics card design is not right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 What graphics card do you have? You're absolutely right, exports should not be taking that long from Revit at all. Have you turned off Hardware Acceleration in Revit, restarted the session (so changes can take effect), and attempted to re-export? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davebin Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 I believe I have an Intel ® HD Graphics 4600 card. I just tried it again using your suggestion above with no better result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tzframpton Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Hmm, weird. I don't think it's a Revit issue, I think it's a hardware or driver issue. Obviously since the same file works fine on other computers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojtek Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Hello. I probably have a solution to the problem. The problem is probably after the Revit update. During the update, there were problems with the DWG export template, and that's where you need to look for the problem. I recommend creating a new template. I hope it will help. I have been looking for a solution in this topic myself for a long time. Regards :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
