Hello! This was extremely helpful, thank you! I want to better understand the model capabilities when you move your Revit model into Sketchup. When you import your Revit model into Sketchup, am I able to edit the model as I would any other model built in sketchup from the ground up? I want to make sure that when I import my model from Revit to Sketchup, that I can add/delete lines, apply materials and render using Enscape. Thanks!

@kylesinko

Hi Diana, the workflow from Revit to Sketchup is more forgiving than the other way around. Revit groups all your model components when exporting to the filetype in this video so that when you import it to Sketchup, each component is grouped together on layers that you can individually turn on or off. Each component is further split into faces which you can individually edit too, once exploded. I hope that helps

thanks that was very helpful! one thing though my model had curves and it was kinda broken do u know how i can fix that?

My pleasure Rana! The best solution to that is to unfortunately remodel it. A broken model can be a huge pain to work with and pinpoint what's wrong with it. I've spent a lot more time trying to fix models in the past when I could have had it remodeled in half the time.

Please, What is the purpose of exporting as acis solid? Can you please make a video explaining how to create layers as you suggested in this video?

@kylesinko

2 жыл бұрын

The alternative to ACIS Solid is a mesh. Meshes tend to import awkwardly in Sketchup with lots of small faces. A solid is one unit and is a lot "smoother". Hopefully that makes sense. The way to make layers is simple. Hide everything else in the view and export group 1. For example, isolate all the walls and export. Then, import that into sketchup. Repeat this for the floors. Then the roofs. Then the furniture. and so forth. Cheers

How big was the size of your dwg file? Just asking out of pure curiosity, cuz I had been struggling with my 25MB dwg file while importing it to sketchup. It had been stuck at 52% without any progress for a long time and I'm wondering, if there's any solution that could accelerate the process of importing bigger dwg files to sketchup?

@kylesinko

A 25MB file size leads me to believe there's something wrong with the file. Anything over 10MB is usually a bad sign. That could be the reason you're struggling to import/export it.

What do the acis solids do?

@kylesinko

3 жыл бұрын

ACIS is a solid modeling technology. For example, ACIS represents a cube as a single object or shape with 6 sides. A polymesh is a 3D shape consisting of multiple polygons that are meshed (joined) together. For example, a polymesh cube consists of 6 square surfaces that are joined together to form the cube shape. It is simply the way the model is structured.

Hey, if you're just using Sketchup you can import the line drawings using the same method from this video, but it depends how you've drawn the lines. If they are drawn in CAD you can import them as a DWG, or if it's hand drawn you can import it as a photo then draw over the top of it and extrude it up. Hope that helps

Try isolating the problem by exporting smaller parts of your model until you find which one is causing the issue. If no parts of your model exports but the same method works in another project, it's the model. If exporting parts of it doesn't work and it doesn't export in another project, it's the method. Just have a play around with it, it's trial and error. Let us know if you find a solution!

Hey, I'm a freshman archi student. Why would someone export a file from Revit to SketchUp? I thought both programs were designed for the same purpose....

@kylesinko

4 жыл бұрын

Hey, good question! Revit and Sketchup are both architectural software but have very different purposes. Revit is a Building Information Modelling software (BIM) and is generally used for creating construction drawings and 3D models that can be built in real life. Sketchup is a more conceptual program that allows you to freely create and experiment with masses. Where Revit restricts you from experimenting too far from what can actually be built, Sketchup has no restrictions on the masses you can make. In this case, we were working on a group project of a multi-storey building. We had created a site model for it in Sketchup and wanted to move the model of the more detailed building to Sketchup to render easily. Long story short, where the programs both have the purpose of designing buildings, they have unique features and are different from the other.
