Best way to Export a Revit model to Sketchup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 лип 2024
- Transferring a Revit model to Sketchup is one of the first steps I take towards creating an awesome rendering. This is the first part of a tutorial series that takes a model from Revit to Sketchup, then render with Vray and finally finish it off with post-production in Photoshop. I call this Revit-Sketchup-Vray-Photoshop method the RSVP Workflow :)

we can export all views SKP from revit to dwg in one click - in menu export click to "export: " - "in-session view/sheet set", then click to "Show in list" - "Views in the model", and mark all 3d view "SKP"
+Андрій Базів ooh I did not know that! Thank you so much!!!
Exactly what I came to tell here! Why export individually when you can export by set, all at once!? Same works for printing/plotting views and sheets!
Completely agree, figured that out after I posted the video 😂 thanks for the input!😊
It doesn't always work like that. Because when I export a drawing all together, editing it in sketchup explodes up my walls into strange forms and not one single wall or face!. I found this way very helpful..
Yeah!! But I think that the way he did it's more organized, 'cause you can apply the materials easier on sketchup, but either way are great
WHAT.A.LEGEND.
by far THE most concise straight to the point tutorial i have ever come across. I mean i even took my time to log in to put a Like man! Great Effort, many thanks
Thank you so much!! You don't know how much that means to me :D
Even if I don't add this tutorial, the video composition, editing, flawless and amusing telling is really amazing. Great work.
+Bilgehan Bölek thank you so much Bilgehan!
You're very welcome :) Keep up the good work.
Man, this was the best tutorial ever. Thanks for the super clear instructions! Love it!
First revit tutorial which didn´t make me fall asleep :D Thank you for that!
Every part of this video has been done to an excellent standard
Oh man that's one heck of a compliment! Thank you so much!!
This is one of the best tutorials I've ever watched. Thank you
Congratulations!!!! Your talent is seen not only on your technical knowledge but also on your communication skills; It was fun and easy to follow and remember !!! Thanks for bringing tutorials to a higher level !!!
+Nazlly Fajardo thank you so much for the comment! It really means a lot to me 😄😄 I'll try to create more tutorials! 😊😊
You've blown my head man! Really good work
blew my mindddd... fantastic video. saved me a ton of time.
Wow you understand how to make guides! Accessible for everyone while also including some basics. Subscribed for sure!
I try to plan it out and make it as concise as possible so that it's easy to understand. Glad you like it! Thank you for the subscribe!😊😊
you are the best , I'm in deep drabble during my work before watching this video , thnx
Very helpful I have never thought about this method
wow, this is the easiest tutorial to understand i've ever seen for any program, thank you alot for your help
how or where did you learn to use SKP so well? never seen that kind of rotation before, how did you do it¿
I just teach myself by playing with it and learn from UA-cam videos. The rotation was done by using a 3d mouse 😄
wow man this took lots of time for you to make the video! but the result is awesome :D tnx and obviously, right subscribed to see more videos like this
yessir it does take a long time haha but it's worth it if you guys find it useful! Thank you for the subscribe! Next one is coming soon :)
A pesar de que no entiendo mucho ingles tus tutoriales son excelentes, se entiende todo claro y la edicion de video tambien esta muy bien lograda. Te ganaste un suscriptor, saludos.
Thank you for soo detail tutorial!!
Good Job! Beautiful tutorial and great explanation
REALLY AMAZING!!!!
Thanks a lot for posting! This is the way to go if you're going to edit materials!
You're very welcome!😄
Great thanks for your illustration of the workflow
You are very welcome!! 😄
The start of the Revit->Sketchup->Vray->Photoshop series, here's the best way to export a Revit model to Sketchup so you can eventually render it with Vray :)
great workflow!! kudos
best tutorial I have ever get
Whoa, man! I haven't even started applying your tips (which seem to be pretty non-conventional and super pro) but I already know I'm about to watch all your vids as you do it in the most desired way possible - quick, clear and so funny! Keep up this work my Master! :D
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to read comments like this, it's so encouraging! :D
One question though :) I drew the reference lines but they disappear when I duplicate the view, hm... Do you know why it may be so?
+Daria Weryńska hm make sure your Lines category is turned on, otherwise. Review hidden geometries and unhide it 😊
Dude, you're beast. Thanks a lot.
Thank youu!
Thank you ! Very good video
Great Tutorial! Thanks!
Bruh, great video content my friend. Finally someone found a way to make tutorial videos interesting and fun! I was fully engaged the entire time and learned lot is just 10mins! You are one of the only people ive seen that actually do summaries at the end and show shortcut commands on the video, it helps retain the information alot more :) i wish you did more Revit videos. One question thou, why do you use Vray instead of the Revit renderer ?
Thank you so much for watching and your positive comment :D
The reason why I use Vray in Sketchup is because it's a lot easy to adjust materials and add components and entourage in Sketchup. I'm just a lot better at it than the built-in render engine of Revit :D
Im currently migrating from AutoCad to Revit, looking forward to more of your videos :)
ah gotcha! I have a full-time job but I'll keep trying my best to do more video! :D
Vray is like the god of rendering, trust me the difference between revit render and vray render is astronomical
this channel is gonna be big
best wishes
keep up the good work! :)
Thank you! I'll keep working hard :)
best work ever i know😊😊😊
amazing video - i have a presentation in 7 hours, you're a lifesaver

+Fawzi Ghabayin thank you so much Fawzi!
LEGEND MAN THANK YOU SO MUCH
You're very welcome!😄
super tutorial thank you!
You're super welcome! 😄😄
Great tips in here! As stated, due to this being a few years old...there may be new methods. I’ve learned the potential of Transmutr from Minh’s other vids and purchased it. Very powerful and though it may be able to allow for a smooth FBX workflow by borrowing some tips from this vid. After doing some testing with different exporters, I found decent results in setting up isolated Revit views by system, exporting with Twinmotions free FBX exporter, running through Transmutr for correction of scale/up axis and material mapping. Still not painless but better than the old days.
Thank you so much for the awesome comment Taylor! I didn't even think about bringing Revit to Sketchup using Transmutr.😮 thank you so much for your support on Patreon too! Working on a new model and more materials for you guys 😊 will upload a post about it soon!
beautiful!
Thank youu 😄😊
GRACIAS!! primer Tutorial que me es divertido y fácil de entender, ¡SUSCRITA!=)
This is very helpful. Thanyou
You're welcome!
This video was really helpful for me, I hate Sketchup ( :D), but Revit is new for me, and I was afraid of modelling something except the building in it, so now I can just put that thing into Sketchup and do the rest in it...you are amazing :) video was also funny, not just educational! love it :))
I'm so glad you found it helpful and funny too ^.^ Thank you so much!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Legend-ary!!👍
amazing!
Thank youu 😁😁
that was amazing
Thank youu 😄
Super Like(s)..! very helpful tutorial. THANKS
Great video, hey I've another time saving tip. You can also set up a short cut for "hide rest of model" in Sketchup
Yup, I use that a lot in my workflow/timelapse videos 😊 you can also hide similar components too
Awesome
+Raul Villarreal 😄😄😄
OMG¡¡¡¡¡¡ I'M SO HAPPY, THX.
+William you're very welcome!!😄😄

7:44 when I saw Barney's clip (I love you man) hahaha
Hahahahaha.. it was legen...wait for it...dary....(nods head)
😆😆 I love that show!!
that's great.
Thank you! 😄
I think you can also export into Rhino and define layers by the materials you have. Once it's in Rhino you block every layer and export to SKP
fucking hell man youre a genius
:D I'm glad you found it useful :)
A simpler way is to *Export as ACIS solids*
Then you can delete the materials in Sketchup and choose yours painting the groups with the bucket and switching the layers to help the organization.
But still a very funny tutorial to watch. Thanks for the creativity!
Definitely! I figured that out after I made the video too. Going to heart this comment so others can use this awesome tip. Thanks Pedro!😄😄
what is an ACIS solids?
how do i can import acis solids in sketchup ?
A bit late to the party, but just discovered this tutorial, and totally agree with the many comments before! One of the best videotutorials Ive ever seen! Really looking forward to going through the rest of your vids :-) What software are you using for the screengrab? /Patrik the Swede, BIM evangelist
Thank you so much Patrik! I use Nvidia Shadowplay. It's free if you have an Nvidia graphics card 😊 super easy and convenient to use😁
When I do this, my model is imported with colors and materials aren't editable, like I can't change the green color the walls were imported with even after changing them from layers they're still green. What can I do about that?
same question T_T
you have to enter materials tab and delete the colour that painted in your model. your model will be white and you can edit any material in your model
@@monicahsu4942 you have to enter materials tab and delete the colour that painted in your model. your model will be white and you can edit any material in your model
@@pailinvrs how to enter the material tab and delete the colour?
@@zharifadam407 click window > default tray > materials when materials window is opened, select 'In Model' and you can delete the colors that come from revit (by right click on it and select delete)
hey this was excellent. I also like to make hide rest of model a shortcut in sketchup to speed up render time when the model is very detailed... thanks.
+Jay Vaai yes! I have a shortcut for it too and it saves tons of time :)
thx
You're very welcome!
very easy
there is a nice plugin - simlab sketchup exporter, it is not free, but it does the same work a i think it´s worth the money, when you export regulary.
hey, great tutorial. Can I know what is your .dwg export settings?
Excellent Work, man, you make a very good videos, i congratulate you. I do not know if what i say is a question or a request, but will you have or will you someday tutorial's to fully teach the people who are just starting in this world of computer modeling?, will you have videos of beginner's?, or you can do some in the future?, explaining the program's that you most know how to use, As the photoshop, Sketchup, Revit, etc..Thanks for Waching :)
+Eric steve :v thank you Eric! I have and will make more videos of my programs in the future :) if you haven't already, check out my sketchup playlist! 😄
thankyou very much man!!...
how it works on archicad??..
I really don't know how to express my feeling. Very clear, smart and interest explanation! I think you should do more of Sketchup tips instead of Vray only. I'll be waiting cause i'm practicing it after a long time using Revit :). One question, are you Vietnamese? if it's true, i'll be very proud :).
Awesome feedback! And I'll be sure to make more sketchup tips as well :D Did you check out my Sketchup playlist with tips and tricks? It's pretty cool!
And yes, I am Vietnamese :D chào bác ^.^
Wao! Where do you live now? I guess you've practiced architecture for a long time. I'm just a junior, neither , and my skills are still at an average level :). I'm not sure you're Vietnamese because of your accent, it's just like a natural one for me :). Video hay lắm bác, cách diễn đạt ko thua gì thậm chí hay hơn nhiều video hướng dẫn từ nước ngoài nữa:), e thật sự rất bất ngờ ạ :). Chúc bác sức khỏe, sớm tăng sub và video :D.
+Tuan Ho mình tốt nghiệp năm 2015 đó bác😄 mình ở oklahoma😊 where are you from? Thanks nhiều nhá! Quá khen 😁 để mình tiếp tục cố gắng làm😉
E ở trong nước thôi bác :D. Nhìn bác thế này thì e phải cố gắng rất nhiều rồi, bác đúng nghĩa là Architecture Inspirations đó ạ :).
+Tuan Ho à à vậy hở. Tiếng anh giỏi quá mình cứ tưởng ở Mỹ😂 haha thanks nhá 😉
Also, on 8:34 - it`s a shortcut "view/Component Edit/Hide Rest Of Model"
+Андрій Базів gotcha! I had to set my own shortcut to this symbol ` . Did you have to set your own shortcut too or did your sketchup already have a shortcut for it?
i use symbol ` too))
+Андрій Базів whoa that's awesome man! High five! Thank you so much for commenting by the way. If you have any other tips, I would love to learn it 😊
ur voice is amazing
Thank you so much!😄
Just wondering can you render with lumion, after importing revit files to sketchup? Nonetheless this was very helpfull even in 2020 thanks mate!
You definitely can! I think there's a Lumion plugin for Revit too
Thank you so much for the amazing tutorial.♥️
If I import my model to sketchup, do the objects keep their material? I mean can I have a vray render in sketch up from the model and its materials which were assigned to it in revit? (I am not a native English speaker, so that question was hard as F to ask. Hope it was clear😫)
Materials dont get transferred, that's why it's better to separate by group like I showed
hi Architecture inspirations. your cladding is beautifull. please how did you make it. please can you make a tutorial about? thanks
Thank you so much! Big help for my upcoming assignments! I really wanna ask, what are those add-ons that you're using in your Sketchup?
No problem! ah it's a lot of different extensions that I had on there. But some useful ones are Tools on Surface, 1001 Bit tools, Make Fur, Joint Push Pull, Round Corner, Selection toys. Hope that helps!
Super awesome! Thanks again :D
+Yvonne Chin you are super welcome😉
Hey +Architecture Inspirations priciate all the videos! They are very helpful! So Im trying to decide to either buy V-ray for Sketchup or V-ray for Revit as it is now available. Which combo do you think would be better and what are a few pros/cons ? Thanks in advance!
I actually haven't tried Vray for Revit. But personally I like using Sketchup is because of the massive library and resources online for 3D models. It's just a lot faster to find the components I need 😊
Awesome! thank you for the advice :)
You got it 😁
Nice trick. Have you tried using filters based on materials? It might elevate the select/hide requirement. Just a thought. Thanks for this.
What do you do if you want the exterior of the wall to show as one material and the interior to show as another? I'm working on a construction phasing and need to show exterior walls being installed with brick on the outside and concrete-ish material on the inside. Thanks.
Yeah you can definitely do that too. I'm just not used to working with materials in Revit so I usually just export them per category.
Hm I think you can use the paint tool to do that can't you?
Problem I found is that Autodesk uses what's called (in 3ds Max at least) multi-sub materials. That means it is one material that houses several component materials. This is common in doors and windows where you'll have an overall "window" material that contains the glass, the mullions, and frame, maybe the hardware, etc. all as sub-materials to the larger. This makes material changes for Revit objects like this problematic in SketchUp.
Hello, i have some problem here the imported item from revit have some colors(not white/default like in the video) and materials in sketchup can’t change that color. Any solutions for this problem? 🙏
Hey again, great video. Here is my question, when I import to sketchup my items has already coloured , and if I try to color these, it won't happen. How can I fix this?
You can delete all the color at once using the material editor
Hi, after doing this, can you reverse it back SKP >> RVT and keep the same BIM info like the walls and windows? Thanks in advance.
Unfortunately I dont think that's possible
Hi!
First, the tutorial was useful and clear as usual. I just wanted to know if you tried V-Ray for Revit? So, it wouldn't be necessary to export the model from Revit to SketchUp. If you do and still like more render on SketchUp, why?
Hi there! Great question!! So I actually made this video before Vray for Revit came out so back then, there weren't really an option to render Revit model with Vray unless you export it to Sketchup or 3ds Max. So of course you can just use the Vray for Revit plugin and render directly now :D However, to this day, even with the Vray for Revit plugin. Some companies still love to do renderings in Sketchup and 3dsmax. There's a lot of reasons for that. For example, one is because it's easier to model in Sketchup, and there are lots of libraries for furniture like 3dwarehouse, etc. Landscaping in Sketchup is also so much easier now with the Skatter plugin. And quite simply, some people just prefer Sketchup's workflow more than Revit. I hope that helps!! 😄
hi sir, thanks sir, but sir i have a problem,I have successfully converted sketchup to revit, but when I want to render in enscape, the item from the sketchup becomes gray color without material. Is there a solution or not for my problem?
Looks super simple - However my main problem/challenge is, that when I have a project, Windows are families. Meaning that glass are imbedded in the family. And there are often many types of different windows, hence many different families. Is there a way to tag or categorize the "material" glass, so that you can (ex. in vray) apply by tag?
Hello mate, I have the same question! did you find a way to sort it out?
Hi great tutorial man, but pls I'm having problems when i import my model to SketchUp, i noticed that i can't apply material to any component properly. For example my walls, whenever i apply material to my walls import the material is applied in between the wall thickness rather than the surfaces of the walls
Try selecting everything and inverting the surfaces in sketchup or just double click the component you want to change it's material, CTRL+A, and put the material to apply it to both surfaces.
If that doesn't work, probably your model wall's correctly joined in revit so try joining them and ensuring that there's no walls doubling up on each other. ✌️
I exported to DWG and I was still not able to import to Sketch up. Could it be bc I was using SketchUp Make 2017?
Bro can you suggeste me which is best free software for good quality render of Revit file
Hm not sure if there are any free softwares out there.
@@ArchitectureInspirations any paid software for 3D professional rendering
@@ArchitectureInspirations I am using twinmotion it's not good for 3D view quality
Enscape and Vray are great for Revit
Did they change the short cut for model lines? Revit 2020 seems to be different?
I'm not sure really. This video is really old
