The Revit Importer only imports geometry visible in the selected 3D view. We've included some workflows for using Revit links in SketchUp here. rvt projects, the importer creates a proxy object for each. Revit Links Support - When an imported Revit project contains one or more linked.Geometry Optimization - SketchUp optimizes redundant triangulation and lowers the segment count on curves in imported Revit projects.

Transparent Materials are also supported. SketchUp Materials - Revit Materials become SketchUp Materials and appear as if rendered using the Consistent Colors option in Revit.SketchUp Sections - Sections are created from Revit Levels, point downward, and placed 4' above Revit levels.SketchUp Tags - All Revit families receive tags named after their equivalent Revit categories.SketchUp Components - Converts all Revit families into components, converts identical Revit objects to identical components, and names components using the Revit family name/family type.rvt file into your SketchUp model, SketchUp automatically creates the following: When you use the Revit Importer to incorporate a. If you don't have a Studio subscription, you can set up a 30-day trial here. However, having some choice in workflows in today’s challenging world of inter-operability and data exchange is always useful.Note: The Revit Importer is only available for Microsoft Windows and requires a SketchUp Studio subscription. Of course, if producing visuals in 3dsmax this process isn’t necessary as Max has an excellent portfolio of import plug-ins including Revit and Sketch-up. The image below shows a sample model exported from Revit using the SKP format into AutoCAD With basic transparency settings, colours and textures being preserved through the export process. Although I don’t own the Sketch-up product I tested the file and found it goes cleanly into both AutoCAD and 3ds max. The process is very simple just click on ‘Export’, choose the location to save the SKP file to and the plug in will do the rest. This is possible via a plug-in found on the Autodesk app store. However occasionally it is useful to take a model from Revit into Sketchup for conceptual presentations. Revit for many years has had an import from Sketchup Functionality which can prove useful in family creation and massing workflows.
