#WHAT SKETCHUP VERSION IMPORTS INTO REVIT HOW TO#
makes us look knowledgeable.At a Glance How to Export Revit models to SketchUp? Im keen not to spend too much time on this, but also keen to provide solutions if we can. William, Will try that exporter and see how we get on. But they need to add hoardings and other compound detail. They are looking at taking our models and then linking it to a 4D program such as syncro or navis. They use Sketchup as it means they (and I quote) "dont need to learn any complex programs". Steve, you have almost hit the nail on the head. Will look at shared coordinates and the IFC Different programs deal with faces / vertices in different ways.ĪAron, I have managed to get a DWG file into sketchup of the same file and it comes in fine. Otherwise you can never be sure what you will get with displacement. When ever I need to apply displacement to a Revit model, I always add planes over the revit geometry due to the way the surface triangulate and divide. Of course this is 3D Maxand not SU, however from my experience SU was even worse dealing with imported geometry with a good chance of triangulated faces appearing from the import process.īLothian, absolutely. Its quite a significant increase in geometry for something so simple which is why I always prefer Arch Viz modelling in Max instead even if a good Revit model already exists. Here is 4 walls of a single material wall exported from Revit via workflow and then bound into the MAX file to get the stats to work.Īnd the same thing but created using spline/extrude modifier in max. Imported geometry from Revit also creates much more vertices and poly's than native geometry in Max or SU. Given the increase in performance of more modern PC's you can probably cope with more than that but eventually you will likely still hit the same slowdown and this could be what you are experiencing. When I did use it frequently I found that once the SKP file got to around 30mb it would start to slow down quite noticeably. SU's problem is that it does not support hyperthreading or multithreading, sketchup will run on 64bit versions of windows, but will run as a 32bit application.
#WHAT SKETCHUP VERSION IMPORTS INTO REVIT CODE#
Its been a while since I used SketchUp but I'm almost certain Trimble haven't done any major code rebuilding that its hardcore users have been yearning for over the last 8 years or so.

If anyone has any ideas or experience on this, I would welcome the advice.ĪndyI wouldn't be at all surprised if this was the reason. I would like to be able to tell our client, that its not our problem, but I dont know enough about how sketchup deals with large files now its "BIM enabled." Are there still any issues with Sketchup and large files, as whenever I have used large files, it becomes pretty sluggish. I am thinking that our Arch file probably has way more faces and vertices than the struct or M&E (I'm hoping this is the reason) hence why ours is struggling within Sketchup. To make matters worse, our client has told us that they have managed to get the M&E and the structures files to work OK, and fairly stable. To zoom around to the correct location takes an age and more often than not hangs. So the imported file is miles from the origin in sketchup. However, because our client is then going to merge the M&E and the Structural model, we are using shared coordinates. After a while, say 20 minutes, it does actually liven up, and allow us to zoom around.

However, when I import it into Sketchup, it goes through the process of importing and then hangs for ages. The IFC file we export out of Revit, is around 49mb, and imports without issue into every IFC based reader I can find. We have produced a Revit model, that is around the 180mb mark (not huge but large enough).
#WHAT SKETCHUP VERSION IMPORTS INTO REVIT SOFTWARE#
One of our main clients is using sketchup for something on our BIM project, as its the best software they have for the task. This isnt something that I want to do, but am being driven down this path, so I apologise for any work flow faux pas that this creates.
