I had imported 2 models from sketchup file & want to connect both using 6mm thick flat plates in angular manner. Both the surfaces are 250mm apart. Help would be appreciated.
Attaching the revit file & an image file.

Have you thought about modeling these SKP Elements in Revit? Be fairly simple to replicate. Once converted, you can add other Revit geometry to it.
But in answer to your main question, it's all about Work Planes. That is, creating Work Planes to sketch on and host Geometry to. Perhaps the best way to approach, is to create the flat plate in a separate Work Plane-Based family and nest into this Family and host multiple instances of it to multiple Ref. Line Work Planes.
I had tried to sketch out the map in extrusion-by importing a cad file of the map & selecting lines (due to multiple broken lines in the dwg file) in order to sketch the whole thing (att. autocad file of the map). Since I also need the interior lines on the map to be visible , and revit wont allow intersecting lines in extrusion hence I dropped that. Same goes for the wheel with spokes.
Q2: Will it be possible to apply a panel into my model & share it, so that I can get a more better understanding?
I think you may have misunderstood me. What I'm suggesting is to model Revit elements, using Extrusions, from the linework. You should be able the trace the linework with Extrusion Sketch Lines using Pick Lines Method along with TAB-Selection to pick multiple lines in one fell swoop.
Here's an example (3 'countries' out of 20+):
NOTE: Extrusions can be anything Depth. Screenshot using exaggerated depths.
Thank you for the first one, I hadn’t tried it that way previously.
Can you please respond for Q2 (to simplify, as a sample by showing the plate type connection to two rectangles rather than the elements that I had used) ?
I'd be happy to respond to Q2, but I don't understand the question. Can you post an illustration?
I have attached a sketch showing two cuboids (mentioned as surface1 & surface2) and them being connected by cables/plates (3 nos. cables/plates are shown). So, I want to know that how to make these connections. Although you had told about how work planes can help out for this, it will be of a better understanding to me, if I could get a demo of the same in a Revit file.
- Set the work plane to an inside face of one of the panel
- Create an in-place model, create an extrusion by draw 4 circles (profiles of the 4 cables) on that work plane, set a height, finish the extrusion and use the grip at the end of the extrusion to stretch it to meet the other surface. Finish the in place model.
The same technique if you import the SKP in a family and model in the family environment.
