imported .skp looks poor (incomplete) in Revit

[Anonymous]

Hello guys, I hope you can help me! I need to import a .skp file (a children slide) in Revit. I tried several methods - I saved the .skp file as several versions, I tried with link, import, I tried to build it as a mass, as a family, as a generic model - the result remain the same. As you can see in the attached pictures, the children slide looks weird - it hasnt surface from inside. I made my research in google but didnt find something to help me. Thanks in advance for the help guys and forgive my english skills. Greetings!

I use Revit 2022 and Sketchup 2020 Pro.

Maybe export SKP to DWG and link/import the DWG in a generic family in revit.

I run into this issue. Sketchup set one face when it comes to render. When you have other side, it won't render as mentioned in this forum post. The best way to make both side to show is to export as DWG and then import them in. It will show both side.

Sadly, I lost the choosen materials in Sketchup when I import it as a DWG in Revit (it appears completely black) which I dont want.

If you don't want what I've suggested, then you have to fix it in Sketchup. Revit can't do much to fix your issue if this is sketchup related issue.

Either export from SketchUp to CAD with layers so that you can re-assign material to CAD layers via Object Styles.

Or, paint all front/back surfaces in SketchUp using flip surface context menu.

The selected materials in sketch up are lost when I import them as .dwg in Revit. The subject is completely black. From object style the material does not change and remains pure black.
