Importing Sketchup File into Revit from Interior Designer

Hello,

 

I am having issues with the best workflow with this. The interior Designer I work with uses Sketchup. I send her an exported 3D view of the house and she models furniture and casework into it. I tried just importing the dwg into my Revit file but some of the furniture is messing up and also it is not cutting in view range.

 

I looked into it and it said to insert the dwg as a generic model and my revit crashes when trying to import it.

 

Does anyone else use this workflow? I would really like it to workout. Thanks!

Have you try using Formit? It is Autodesk version of Sketchup and it allows you to open Sketchup file and link it with Revit.

Just tried that. A lot of the sketchup files were showing at maybe 50% line work and it still gave me the issue of cutting the view. It showed the 2nd floor on the first floor plan.

I am going to try to separate the floors and create revit files with them with in place masses within them. 

 

I cannot be the only designer that collaborates with an interior designer with Sketchup. There has to be an easier way.

We always used to import it within a Mass Family or In-Place Component

I am trying that and it is giving me the loading circle and then I have to force close it. My computer can handle it. I don't know what else to try.

What it is supposed to be and then what it ends up being.

If you want texture map from Sketchup being used in Revit, you may want to export as OBJ format and import OBJ into Revit. 

 

If you want sketchup convert to Revit native object, do check out Evolvelab Helix
