hi
I insert mass in place from sketchup
now I want to make extrusion mass parts
did I have to draw profile of each plane?
how to pick a profile of sketchup mass and make of him extrusion?
You can create an elevation view perpendicular on the area you want to create the profile which will make it easier to trace.
You can try to use the pick tool to create the profile. Depends little bit on the file you try to trace if the lines can be picked. Not sure if Sketchup will expose the lines to allow this.

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
INSERT SKETCHUP MASS
MASS A WALL BY PICK A PLANE FROM MASS
HIDE ALL ELEMENT . LEFT THE WALL JUST CREATED
MAKE EXTRUSION
PICK A PLANE FROM THIS WALL
THEN SHOW GRID(NEXT TO SET PLANE)
NOW ITS EASY TO DRAW PROFILE
Just be careful when introducing angles from a non native geometry (SketchUp) to Revit elements like walls and profiles. It is very easy to run into "slightly off axis" problems further down the line. I would introduce reference planes in a manual way making sure angles do not have more than 3 decimal digits in the degrees.
you have to work with move tool and remove constraint or unlock plan constraints and try to work on the elevation or section and avoid working on the 3d so u dont lose the axis movement
@alyrashid Working in 3D is one of the things I like best about Revit! There is nothing wrong with working in it.
@ohayanyc you can work in 3D all you want, just be sure to set your workplane before modifying/creating.
