Importing Solidworks to Revit

[charrisonJUBML]

I’m trying to find a way to reliable import solidworks models into Revit and have them follow the same visual style.

I essentially want everything to be shaded with edges or at least hidden line.

So far, I can export my Solidworks model to .STEP > Import into AutoCAD and then export as .DWG > Import in to revit. When I do this, I run into issues with not being able to use section views.

Another option I found is to do the same thing as above, but import the .DWG into Navisworks, and then link it as a coordination model. With that I get just a grey blob. Its all just shaded and I can’t pull dimensions off of it, but it does cut the model with a section view I guess.

Any one else have any ideas?

Export to SAT > Import SAT in a cut-able family (can be an external or in-place family)

I am trying to do this, but I am running into troubles with this error. I am having a hard time researching what this error even means.

Then there is some issue with the source file that you need to solve before importing it in Revit.  You can share the DWG or SAT here so we can take a look.

Hi, 

Please see attached for the sat file.

Sorry none of the programs I have (AutoCAD 2022, FormIt Pro) can read the SAT file.  How did you generate the SAT file?
