Here are the steps for FormIt categorization…

Then navigate to where I want the FormIt 360 files to be (can also go to A360.

Navigate to the folder with the SKP files in them.

Go to the Add-Ins tab, FormIt 360 Conversion panel and choose Convert SketchUp Files from the drop down menu.

Install the Plugin and restart Revit 2015.

Download the files you want locally onto the hard drive.

Go to the SketchUp Warehouse – browse to a great looking catalog – LINK.

Here are the steps for SketchUp conversion…

The one ‘gotcha’ (which should be kind of obvious)… if the model is poorly constructed geometrically in SketchUp, then that same geometry will come down the pipe into FormIt and eventually into Revit…Īnother comment about size – you’ll get better results componentizing your SketchUp import – doing a blanket conversion of your entire existing SketchUp model will take longer and be a MUCH bigger memory footprint. Some more detail here, reproduced from the post:

Use the same Revit addin to convert the FormIt 360 Sketch to RVT.

Use addin to convert SKP to format for Formit.

I refuse to use Revit (that companies arch and building design standard) as I believe it is (or was) the least intuitive CAD program available BUT the US side of the multi national won out over Archicad (not so bad but not SketchUp either).Ĭheers and Thanks from the socially & culturally isolated NW of Tas.Check out this excellent forum post by Tobias Hathorn, in which he describes the best workflow for Sketchup to Revit conversion via FormIt 360. The team would take my Sketchup files and do what they needed to without complaining to me. I’ve just gone out on my own again after leading the local arch team for a large multi dip international. The majority of the architects they work with use either Revit or Archicad. I would like them to be comfortable working in 3D with me when that’s appropriate. The consultants are just starting with Revit so I want to establish protocols for future more complicated projects. dwg viewer and can load into SketchUp so I can look at but they should get before I send it. BIM Management, at the construction phase of project.įor this project my engineers will probably only be doing 2D overlays over 2D extractions of my work Thats not a problem. The above will help with the general coordination of models i.e.

Hope that helps, as mentioned by MikeWayzovski the tips provided are dependent on phase of project. FBX export format from Sketchup imported into Navisworks does extremely really well. Do not import the model into Revit otherwise it will bring in all the line and object styles into Revit. “Link” or attach the file and relink model to check shared coordinates are working OK. So ensuring your coordinates are in the same place as the design team saves a lot of time later trying to move models into place using grids and levels. OR vice versa, Shared Coordinates is a big deal in Revit on a huge project. Have a grid referencing system in your model, so they can link your model where it is supposed to go and at the correct level.

Helps the consultants order your information using native tools in Revit.īest file export option I have found so far from Sketchup to Revit is AutoCAD.dwg - There is a Sketchup importer in Revit I found does next to nothing. These can then be controlled easier through visibility setting in Revit. Order your Sketchup model in layers where possible to distill the information.

Import full model into Revit and Export to Navisworks for clash detection. Some stuff that has helped me, in the case of using your Sketchup model for model coordination.
