Thank you for this video, I normally do my projects in Sketch Up and and have to redue the technical drawings in revit, but not since you told me this technic , it cuts my time in short , THANKS !!!!!!!!
Hi Joseph! I accidentally jumped into your video searching for skp to rvt. So cool to see you after so many years. You haven't changed at all since Genova. Greetings!
No, unfortunately, there isn't a good workflow other than spending time to carefully trace all the lines with detail line. Any mesh geometry will result in triangulations of faces in Revit. I wish it had some parameters to fix that.
Joseph thank you for the TH-cam much appreciated. I enjoy the pace of your TH-cam it's not so quick a person has a chance to understand clearly what's happening. yet I would appreciate if the music was turned down. For your words are more important than the music. it's a filler that's not relevant to the subject. otherwise great job.
My problem is that whenever i import a sketchup file into revit the revit file becomes too slow. Also happens when I import 3dsmax models. Is there a solution to that?
to be useful you need to import noncurved surfaces otherwise you get all the triangulation as you have there... I wouldn't have any model like that in my Revit files
Formit is usually better with Revit transferring geometry than SketchUp, but I feel more comfortable recommending SketchUp as just better modeling tool.
Whats up Joseph, thank you, man! Very nice explanation.
My pleasure!

Perfect!
Hi Joseph! I
accidentally jumped into your video searching for skp to rvt. So cool to see you after so many years. You haven't changed at all since Genova. Greetings!
Whaaat! I'm glad you found me :)
You need to shoot me a email, Facebook, or something! Need to catch up.
Master jedi!!!...i am your padawan from now...cheers.
:) may the force be with you.
can we change the dimensions of this imported SketchUp model inside Revit?
such as scaling the object in only one dimension?
Unfortunately, no. You can't streach. Just scaling uniformly.
Autodesk has Formlt (similar to SU) and I think you can create families straight from there. I use Rhino for my organic shapes and curved families.
Can you share with us how we can do this?
Great vid, Joseph! Has anyone figured out a way to hid the triangulated edges from the geometry? It is leading to performance issues in Revit...
No, unfortunately, there isn't a good workflow other than spending time to carefully trace all the lines with detail line. Any mesh geometry will result in triangulations of faces in Revit. I wish it had some parameters to fix that.
Nice video man. can we add also the material from su to rfa file?
Unfortunately, no

Thanks for the feedback, Mark!
thanks .. nice explanation, but for an advice its loudly and not good music
Got it, thanks!
That was great man :).. The only issue is we had the SketchUp model without textures inside Revit!
I tried to put materials and I couldn't
Yeah, that certainly is a downside.
it is possible to export with materials and images from sketchup to revit?
I don't think there is a way to do that. Materials and images in general don't import all that well in Revit if it is foreign data.
When I import my CAD files to revit I cannot move them. Does anyone know why or is anyone having the same issue?
Unpin it :)
My problem is that whenever i import a sketchup file into revit the revit file becomes too slow. Also happens when I import 3dsmax models. Is there a solution to that?
Not really. Just make sure you reduce the amount of geometry as much as possible before hand.
to be useful you need to import noncurved surfaces otherwise you get all the triangulation as you have there... I wouldn't have any model like that in my Revit files
That's fair. But sometimes, you have to just get it done.
Can you show or review Formit with Revit? Is the Sketchup better than Formit??
Formit is usually better with Revit transferring geometry than SketchUp, but I feel more comfortable recommending SketchUp as just better modeling tool.
Thanks for the quick reply. In architectural industry SketchUp is used more than Formit?
@@spoonnn.... It would be difficult to generalize the whole industry. Plus, SketchUp is widely used in other industries where as Formit isn't as much.
WHERE CAN I FIND SOME GOOD TREES FOR REVIT?
It depends what you define as good. You can find free ones that are RPC content. But also paid assets, or your renderer may include some too
SketchUp ki jali ko revit ma kasa la ka ja a
hi Joshep...do you know how to import curve sketch element in revit, facing problem with unwanted lines.
Unfortunately, Revit does not have methods to remove triangulated lines. That has been requested heavily by the community, but not available.
man too much complicated steps , revit is so difficult to learn .
Some tools are definately more complicated. But you must pick up the right tool for the task! And once you get the hang of it, it isn't so bad! :)
