Hi all,

Im fairly new to ArcGIS so apologies if I use any of the wrong terminology. I've got a fairly extensive GDB file of all the 3d buildings in the city of Calgary. I'd like to crop down the 3d buildings to 2-3 specific neighborhoods and export them as DWGs. As is, a DWG containing all the buildings is to unwieldly to open in either Rhino or Autocad. Is this possible?

It seems like it should be possible to either crop (or clip) down the 3d buildings via a layer composed of my selected neighborhoods but I just cant figure it out.

Another workflow is Select Layer By Location (Data Management)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation if you have neighborhood polygons.  Then with the selected objects, run the Export To CAD (Conversion)—ArcGIS Pro | Documentation to export out to DWGor DXF.
