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.
You can import or link a DWG file into a Revit Family template. However, it will act as a static geometric block. You must manually rebuild the parametric intelligence, parameters, and hosting constraints inside Revit to make it a true RFA file again.
True "direct" online conversion is rare. Most professionals use a hybrid workflow: Download a free trial of Revit (30 days), open the RFA, use the "Export CAD" function, and then uninstall Revit.
CloudConvert is a highly secure and versatile online file conversion tool. It handles CAD formats exceptionally well, maintaining precise vector line work during the conversion process.
Because you are transitioning from a parametric BIM environment to a flat CAD environment, you may encounter a few common anomalies. Here is how to fix them: 1. Missing Layers and Colors
