Now you can start painting up your Revit model in Sketchup.
dwgĪlright so the next thing you notice is that when you click on your model it highlights the whole shootin match so click on your model right click and hit explode. Then specify under Files of Type ACAD Files. (The only advantage I've seen with Exporting Polymesh is when you are exporting/importing complex model geometries and mostly this is used in MAX, Maya or Rhino for vertices editing) Secondly, Sketchup is generally used for pretty pictures, easy graphics and 3d manipulation so for the most part I model in Revit and then export to Sketchup to make my pretty pictures.However, I can show you how to send it to either program either way. To back up the first question I would ask is really? Because you can model everything in Revit much more accurately, and very quickly as well as keep Revit your primary modeling software that you're using for the job. This isn't a perfect process but I find it works well to take advantage of the more design-friendly interface of Sketchup and to produce quick color images for clients.So I got asked the question how do I take a sketchup model and turn it into a Revit file? Change the color/transparency of each layer to your liking. This gives you universal control over the color/material of all of your glazing, doors, etc. Change your layer setting in Sketchup to "color by layer". The file will import with DWG layers as Sketchup layers, separating your glazing from your doors, etc.Ĥ. Once your export is saved, open Sketchup and "import" the dwg. This will export Revit objects/elements as components so that they don't get too sticky when working in Sketchup.ģ.
In the "Export Options", under "Solids" choose "Export as ACIS solids". Depending on the speed of your computer and the size of your Revit model, you may want to narrow the scope of the exported model in order to decrease file size.Ģ. This may be the whole model or just a piece (an entry alcove, one exterior elevation, etc). While in a 3D view turn the "Section Box" on (found in view properties) and compress the section box to just the area you want to study in Sketchup. Here is one way to pull your Revit model into Sketchup:ġ.
