have a user in the office that insist on modeling everything twice, once in
sketchup and once in revit. This is mainly because he's unable to view
materials on the revit model in real time, and doesn't like to wait 2-3
minutes for rendering every time he wants to see the materials. Has anyone
else had someone like this in their office? What can I do to pry sketchup out
of his hands?

ok. That makes sense... Well then, I will focus on Sketchup for now, since I
will probably end up using Revit for the building information modeling &
production end of the process... Thank you so much for the advice - I have a
feeling this will save me lots of time and frustration, especially in the
beginning.
Hey everyone, this is a great topic. Check out this post as well. Both sides presented pretty well...while this is drawn out, it really states the case for both sides.
Autodesk Revit Architecture vs Google Sketchup Is there any comparison?
At my office, on the Revit projects we have done (not many yet), we have used Sketchup for conceptual design and production animation/rendering (paired with 3dsMAX of course and VRAY), and we have determined that the best point to transition to Revit is at the point that hard lined elevations are to be drawn.
Basically the goal is to minimize or even remove the need for AutoCAD to be apart of the Schematic design submittal, except possibly for the purposes of site plans, since Revit still doesn't handle this very efficiently.
