So you can't import the SKP in Revit or you can import but you cannot change materials?

[Effrickey]

I imported the skp file into revit 2023, but I cannot change the materials. Is it one mass now? How can I change it to where I can apply materials to the surfaces for rendering?

You can import the sketchup file in AutoCAD, save it as DWG and link the DWG in Revit so you can change materials via Object Styles (layers).  Or share the sketchup file here.

Depends on the SKP. Open Object Styles, go to Imported Objects Tab and see what SKP Layers are there and what Materials are assigned to them.

Where is the Imported Objects tab?

Manage Tab=>Object Styles

Evolelab.io makes a plugin that takes Sketchup and directly converts it to Revit called Helix 2.0.
