How do You export to AutoCAD with out the color fills from windows showing up?
I just want to see what I see in Revit for my elevations, and Revit exports hidden lines and all sorts of other junk I don't want to see. I takes such a long time to clean up elevations and sections.. HELP

My first question would be "why do you want to do this?" If the elevation exists in Revit, I would keep it there and add drafting detail to it in Revit if that is whats required.
Failing that, you have full control of how Revit exports to ACAD. Check under "file" "import/export settings". There you can change what layer Revit exports to. Maybe you set up a layer called "junk" that you throw all the stuff you don't want on to making the ACAD cleanup easier. You can also turn off Revit categories in the Revit view you want to export.
It also may be possible to not export something, but we rarely export anything to ACAD except floor plans for consultants until Revit Structure and MEP are released. Then we will only deal with those that ebrace the Revit way.

The reason I need to export is: that all of our clients want the entire Construction Documents on CDROM in AutoCAD format, I would rather just PDF them, but trhat is not an option for our firm at this time.
And I am just exporting walls, windows, curtain walls, stuff that I obviously want to see. It's just that the windows, break lines, solid filled regions always come in as soild fill color I must expolde and delete.
And sometimes a wall that is solid, becomes "see-through" and the hidden lines (beyond) show up in AutoCAD & Microstation. example: I want to see part of this one wall that sticks out of the building, but for some reason it shows up beyond other walls that are in front of it. *curiuos* and *shrug*
And I do not have any Review Warnings.

Just another thought since PDF is a NO NO at your firm have you looked into making a multisheet DWF file for them. No extras cost as it is built into Revit Building 8. Just a thought but I don't know if you are on the newest version

not an option, dwg is what we have to use...
I guess that's a no about what I'm asking?
I have exported a couple of jobs from Revit to Acad for CDROMS it's about a 8 hour day worth of work cleaning them up. :[

Just as a test I exported one of my current projects elevations and I don't see the problems you are describing. Attached is the ACAD file for you to check out and confirm. This export took about 5 seconds to do.
Make sure you are exporting only the elements you need. I generally do my sheets and make sure that the view is set to HL (hidden line). If you areporting shaded and color filled views that is what you will see in the export. That is why many times you need to define a new view in Revit that is for export only so you can control the process better.

Jessica,
This is an old post so if you need help, you should post clearly what Revit issue/update you are using and what6 you are having problems with.
