My office is trying to trying to streamline our energy modeling process within Sefaira. Currently we either use Sefaira in Revit or SketchUp for our energy modeling and it can be somewhat buggy within Revit. Sefaira sometimes doesn't like the complicated geometry and thicknesses of walls so we export it to SketchUp and use Sefaira in there. The only problem is that we need to remove wall thicknesses to speed up the process of Sefaira. So we are wondering if there's a way to export our Revit models without wall thicknesses into SketchUp. If there isn't a way to do that, is there a way to make a massing model from an already existing model with openings all accounted for?

It's not clear what you want Revit to do .When you say "export without wall thickness" what do you mean? Walls with only one face, or walls as faces, or no walls at all?
Walls as a face. We are trying to simplify the models so that Sefaira can run a daylighting analysis quickly. We usually have to either remake the model in SketchUp or edit a bunch families in Revit to simplify the model so we can run the daylighting analysis. It usually takes way too much time to simplify all our models to run the daylighting analysis so I am trying to sort of make a massing faces from walls and windows that are all modeled.
I am not familiar with the software that you mention. But, I wonder if the day lighting analysis is that something that you could do using Revit combined with other Autodesk tools, to avoid all this workflow that doesn't seem efficient.
