RFA (Revit Family) and DWG (AutoCAD drawing) are common file types in architecture, engineering, and construction. Converting RFA to DWG can be useful when you need Revit family geometry or details in 2D CAD workflows, legacy projects, or for collaborators who don't use Revit. This post explains when to convert, common pitfalls, and gives a concise, practical workflow for converting RFA to DWG using online tools and best practices.
Autodesk provides a free, official online viewer. While it isn't marketed strictly as a "converter," it allows you to export to DWG. Rfa To Dwg Online Convert
Steps:
Verdict: This is the safest and most geometrically accurate method. However, it exports the view you are looking at, not always the entire 3D block set. RFA (Revit Family) and DWG (AutoCAD drawing) are
No online converter can fully convert RFA to a usable, layered, editable DWG while preserving all Revit data. Most "converters" actually: Verdict: This is the safest and most geometrically
Standard AutoCAD DWG files are primarily 2D. If you convert an RFA (3D) to DWG online, you will likely get a 3D Solid model represented as "flattened" lines. If you need a true 3D DWG (ACIS solids), you need desktop software like Revit or Rhino.
