Import SketchUp file to Revit

[Anonymous]

Hi, Revit masters I need your help!

To carry out the energy analysis of the building I'm going to use a plug-in cooperating with Revit. The problem is that the building model I received has been created in SketchUp. I've been trying to import it into Revit using "in-place mass" and import options, but looks like the model is too complex. Do you know any other way to do it? I've also tried with different versions of SketchUp (ver 6-8) with no result.

I will be grateful for any advice!

I haven't done it myself, but I understand SketchUp files can be brought into a project not only as an in-place mass, but also...

...into a project as an in-place component.

...into a conceptual mass family, which is then loaded into a project.

Use this plug-in running on Revit 2015, and then use FormIt (Free) to help with the conversion

Plug-in: http://formit360.autodesk.com/blog/formit-converter/

FormIt: http://formit360.autodesk.com/app

here's what the plug-in does:

• Convert SketchUp SKP files for use within FormIt
• 
• Convert Revit RFA files for use within FormIt. These files maintain their category and identity so that they can be converted back to the proper RFA later.
• Convert FormIt 360 files to RVT and re-place any RFA files from local sources.

So here are the steps fro the cleanest way of getting a SKP into Revit:

1. Convert SKP to FormIt using plug in
2. Open FormIt
3. Insert converted SKP file (now an AXM file) into a FormIt session, using the Library tool
4. Save FormIt file (AXM) to A360 Drive (or export AXM locally from FormIt)
5. A360 Drive will "cloud convert" AXM to an RVT OR use the Convert Plug-in again in Revit to locally convert an AXM into an RVT
