SvgExport is a Revit add-in designed to extract 2D element geometry from active project views and convert them into scalable vector graphics. This utility operates as a streamlined Revit add-in, providing a direct mechanism to translate BIM view data into the SVG file format. It focuses on the extraction of 2D line work and geometric elements present within a specific view, maintaining the integrity of the original paths and shapes. By facilitating the conversion of Revit's internal view data into a standard vector format, the tool enables users to bridge the gap between BIM authoring environments and external vector-based graphic design or web applications, ensuring that graphical representations remain sharp and infinitely scalable for various documentation purposes.

The download is a 10 KB file containing .ZIP files.

To use this plugin, load the add-in into the Revit environment via the standard add-ins interface. Once installed, activate the tool from the ribbon while viewing the desired 2D plan, section, or elevation. The plugin parses the visible geometry within the active view and performs an export operation to generate an SVG file. This output can then be opened directly in vector graphic software for further refinement, web integration, or high-resolution document preparation without loss of fidelity.

Architects and BIM managers utilise this tool for creating clean, vector-based diagrams, presentation graphics, or web-ready floor plans directly from Revit project files. It is particularly valuable during the documentation and marketing stages of residential, commercial, or institutional projects where high-quality, scalable graphics are required for brochures, websites, or detailed technical reports. By bypassing raster-based screenshots, designers ensure that their architectural output remains professional, crisp, and fully editable in external applications, effectively streamlining the transition from BIM data to final graphic output.
