Revit to 2D DWG “Unfolded Faces” for Laser Cutting I have a 3D model created in Autodesk Revit that needs to be prepared for laser cutting. The goal is to extract each individual face of the 3D geometry and lay them out flat in 2D—similar to an unfolded “net” (like unfolding a cube). The final output must be a clean, fabrication-ready DWG file. **Scope of Work:** 1. **Model Review** * Review the provided Revit (.RVT or .RFA) file. * Identify all faces of the selected geometry that need to be extracted. 2. **Face Extraction** * Isolate each planar face of the 3D object. * Ensure each face is captured at true size (no scaling or distortion). 3. **Unfolding / Layout** * Arrange all faces flat on a single 2D plane. * Layout should mimic a logical “unfolded” configuration (faces adjacent where appropriate). * Maintain correct edge relationships where faces connect. 4. **2D Drafting Cleanup** * Convert all geometry into clean 2D linework. * Use closed polylines wherever possible. * Remove duplicate, overlapping, or unnecessary lines. * No 3D geometry should remain in the final file. 5. **Layer Organisation** * Separate geometry into layers such as: * CUT (outer profiles) * ETCH - Internal faces, ie windows and doors * Use consistent naming conventions. 6. **Export to DWG** * Provide final output as a DWG file suitable for laser cutting. * Ensure correct units (please confirm with me before final export—likely mm or inches). * Geometry must be compatible with standard laser cutting software. --- **Deliverables:** * 1x clean DWG file with all faces laid out in 2D * Optional: PDF preview of layout for review * Optional: Source file (if processed outside Revit, e.g., Rhino) --- **Technical Requirements:** * Faces must be: * Accurate in dimension * Properly oriented (no skewing) * Fully flattened * File must: * Contain only 2D geometry * Use polylines instead of fragmented line segments * Be free of duplicate lines * Be optimized for CNC/laser workflows --- **Preferred Tools / Skills:** * Strong experience with Autodesk Revit * Experience exporting to CAD formats (DWG/DXF) * Familiarity with fabrication workflows **What I Will Provide:** * Revit model file * Reference image of desired “unfolded” layout (if needed) * Clarification on units and material thickness (if relevant) **Success Criteria:** * All faces are accurately extracted and laid out flat * File is immediately usable for laser cutting without additional cleanup * Clean, organised, and professional CAD output **Notes:** This is not just a simple export, I specifically need the geometry “unfolded” into flat patterns. Please only apply if you have experience with similar workflows.

Hello, I have 5+ years of experience turning complex 3D models into production-ready 2D patterns for CNC and laser cutting. I will review your Revit file, extract each planar face at true size, and flatten them into a clean 2D layout that preserves edge relationships for an accurate unfold. The workflow will progressively isolate faces, arrange them on a single plane with logical adjacency, and convert all geometry to closed polylines, removing duplicates and any 3D remnants. I will deliver a DWG with clearly named layers (CUT and ETCH) and confirm units before final export; your laser software compatibility and material thickness will guide the final adjustments. What is the preferred unit system (mm or inches) and material thickness to lock in before final DWG export? Best regards, Idania
