Thank you again. Works perfectly. Take a look at the sculpture sample. I went to the Sketchup Warehouse and downloaded a sculpture. I followed the entire process and take a look at the super cool render result in Revit.

Go to Store and download "ImportSKP" (for AutoCAD). Open AutoCAD and use ImportSKP to bring in the SKP and save the DWG.  Insert DWG into Revit.  Done.

Thanks @barthbradley  Do You mean This one

It is not working for me because I only have 2020 Version and this is up to 2019.

Nevertheless it a longer process than the First posted here. It will be three steps  VS. two steps. And I don't use Autocad. Just Revit and Sketchup. Thankyou for the intention but did you take a look at the rendering that I made importing directly from Sketchup. It is so cool and simple. I have even transform so far like 10 families and now the process of doing it is super simple.

It is definitely available for 2020 AutoCAD.  I'm looking at it right now. 

 

Keep it in mind.  You might need to use it in the future.  And you really don't need AutoCAD experience to do it either. It's dumb-proof. I promise.
