Does anybody know what the tolerances are for a DWG (solid ACIS) export? I'm trying to import DWGs into Rhino3d and I get strange results. McNeel is suggesting it is tolerance issues, but I don't know what the Revit exported DWG tolerance is so I can't match it in Rhino3d to even test this hypothesis.

Any help would be appreciated.

If I had to guess (and that's all I really got) the tolerance in revit is set by the units you've used. I've heard it's out to 14 decimal places as is acad. But that shouldn't matter as much as the tolerance or "Units" as set in the acad file. Open the acad file before you import it into rhino. For testing it shouldn't matter what the units were in revit since you can set them in acad.
again, just a guess.
