Direct import of SketchUp file into Revit results elements requires additional steps to ensure proper placement, and it won't cut properly. However, you can overcome this by placing them as a Revit Family, and can even make them parametric whilst at it!

Whats up Joseph, thank you, man! Very nice explanation.
My pleasure!
Hi Joseph! I
accidentally jumped into your video searching for skp to rvt. So cool to see you after so many years. You haven't changed at all since Genova. Greetings!
Whaaat! I'm glad you found me :)
You need to shoot me a email, Facebook, or something! Need to catch up.
Thank you for this video, I normally do my projects in Sketch Up and and have to redue the technical drawings in revit, but not since you told me this technic , it cuts my time in short , THANKS !!!!!!!!
Perfect!
Master jedi!!!...i am your padawan from now...cheers.
:) may the force be with you.
Autodesk has Formlt (similar to SU) and I think you can create families straight from there. I use Rhino for my organic shapes and curved families.
Can you share with us how we can do this?
Great vid, Joseph! Has anyone figured out a way to hid the triangulated edges from the geometry? It is leading to performance issues in Revit...
No, unfortunately, there isn't a good workflow other than spending time to carefully trace all the lines with detail line. Any mesh geometry will result in triangulations of faces in Revit. I wish it had some parameters to fix that.
Nice video man. can we add also the material from su to rfa file?
Unfortunately, no
That was great man :).. The only issue is we had the SketchUp model without textures inside Revit!
I tried to put materials and I couldn't
Yeah, that certainly is a downside.
can we change the dimensions of this imported SketchUp model inside Revit?
such as scaling the object in only one dimension?
Unfortunately, no. You can't streach. Just scaling uniformly.
My problem is that whenever i import a sketchup file into revit the revit file becomes too slow. Also happens when I import 3dsmax models. Is there a solution to that?
Not really. Just make sure you reduce the amount of geometry as much as possible before hand.
Joseph thank you for the UA-cam much appreciated. I enjoy the pace of your UA-cam it's not so quick a person has a chance to understand clearly what's happening. yet I would appreciate if the music was turned down. For your words are more important than the music. it's a filler that's not relevant to the subject. otherwise great job.
Thanks for the feedback, Mark!
it is possible to export with materials and images from sketchup to revit?
I don't think there is a way to do that. Materials and images in general don't import all that well in Revit if it is foreign data.
thanks .. nice explanation, but for an advice its loudly and not good music
Got it, thanks!
When I import my CAD files to revit I cannot move them. Does anyone know why or is anyone having the same issue?
Unpin it :)
to be useful you need to import noncurved surfaces otherwise you get all the triangulation as you have there... I wouldn't have any model like that in my Revit files
That's fair. But sometimes, you have to just get it done.
hi Joshep...do you know how to import curve sketch element in revit, facing problem with unwanted lines.
Unfortunately, Revit does not have methods to remove triangulated lines. That has been requested heavily by the community, but not available.
WHERE CAN I FIND SOME GOOD TREES FOR REVIT?
It depends what you define as good. You can find free ones that are RPC content. But also paid assets, or your renderer may include some too
Can you show or review Formit with Revit? Is the Sketchup better than Formit??
Formit is usually better with Revit transferring geometry than SketchUp, but I feel more comfortable recommending SketchUp as just better modeling tool.
Thanks for the quick reply. In architectural industry SketchUp is used more than Formit?
@@spoonnn.... It would be difficult to generalize the whole industry. Plus, SketchUp is widely used in other industries where as Formit isn't as much.
SketchUp ki jali ko revit ma kasa la ka ja a
man too much complicated steps , revit is so difficult to learn .
Some tools are definately more complicated. But you must pick up the right tool for the task! And once you get the hang of it, it isn't so bad! :)
