Hi - I'm an architect and have always worked in a combination of Autocad and Sketchup. I have modelled an angular building very similar to the one linked below in Sketchup and want to make the transition to Revit.
http://www.e-architect.co.uk/london/st-pauls-information-centre
I've been really struggling. Spent the last week trying different methods such as importing the Sketchup model and it not appearing in sections and plans, importing and applying walls / roofs - it not joining properly due to the severe angles and being able to use anything but basic wall types, changing the Sketchup to a curtain wall and therefore having very thin walls / no internal skin (and messy joins at the edges) and trying to rebuild in Revit but not being able to snap to the Sketchup in 3D (I can snap to some not all - tried using reference lines but no dice).
I have four bespoke buildings to model with this type of angular, metal clad form with glazed frontages and I've barely been able to model 1.
Can anyone help, please?
