Hi there,

Can I make changes to IFC file inside revit or  do I need to do it on another platform?

Please see IFC file screenshot here:

You will need to do it outside of Revit

I have exported 3D sketch up site model as IFC file so that I can import this into revit. Unfortunately I noticed I couldn't make any changes with the IFC file inside revit.

Sound like you may be better Linking the IFC file. The you can make changes in Sketchup and re-export. Then your changes ill be refelcted when you next open Revit
Kind regards,
