Creating a Revit background drawing to send to consultants via dwg. I am using curtainwalls auto-embedding on. Walls are fine in Revit but when exported via dwg they curtainwall wall portion does not show up.

Can anyone confirm this?

thanks.

Curtainwalls are OK when they are not embedded. Looks like a bug or just poor wall design.

It appears theres a problem when you embedd a curtainwall and offset the bottom any distance up effectively raising the sill. T

This is a real problem.

I now have to go into acad and draw all of my exterior walls again to show the curtainwalls and storefronts.

Found the culprit. User error.
In the export layers settings, curtain systems has no value assigned by default.

This should be a numercial value assigned by default, the Facotry needs to add a value for this setting. Looks like an oversight.
