Export outer shell Revit model. How?

[krittapon]

Hi, I can not figure out to bring lighter revit model to google earth for a week and is this possible to export only outer shell Revit model? Or another possible way to export model to google earth with lower detail.

(massing with outer picture of shell or some thing?)

Thanks in advance.

you can try to copy the outer shell from 3D view then paste it into a new file. thanks

Which method do you bring the Revit model into Google Earth?

Export all kind to Navis and use "Google Earth KML" in Output tab.

Too much laging when import KML file to Google Earth.

I can't orbit or pan my screen. If delete import file every thing is work properly.

Did you mean bind instead in google earth?

Hide everything in the view except for what you need to see in Google Earth and set the Navisworks export to Current View.  How to hide effectively?  Turn off Categories under VG, put elements in different worksets and close the worksets, etc...
