# Why are swages not visible in Revit model?

Swages are not visible in the framing elements because it would **slow down** Revit.

Nevertheless, the Swage punch command **will be visible** in the CSV and other format CNC export files:

{% hint style="info" %}
By default, the[ CNC Metal Exporter](https://docs.besmart.software/design-data-management-and-exchange/cnc-exporters/cnc-metal-exporter) is looking at the Structural Framing family **projection line intersection points between** vertical studs and horizontal plates/service holes.

In these intersections, the exporter can generate the following commands:

* Notch (on plate)
* Lip cut (on plate)
* Swage (on stud)
* End truss (chamfer, on both)
* Dimple (on both)
* Service holes (framed horizontally)

It doesn't read the geometry of element cuts unless it's instructed to do so.
