Revit into SketchUp with One Click! 

why would you use sketchup as an engineer O_O

How do you convert it to dwg in revit pls?

But when i try to apply materail by ifc file then , material is not applying on my mdel ?

Yeah, Aaron, do you know if this is in the works? RVT support is awesome for working with consultants, but RFA would be incredible for assets, especially ones that companies haven't seen value in creating .skp files. Would be happy to even have to do some manual editing afterward just to have the function.

Alas... Revit Importer, just like Revit, is a Windows only tool.

The Revit importer is only available in Studio, but we'll pass your feedback on to the product management team. Thanks!

Hi Gaston, Trimble is a publicly traded company, so we can't talk about unreleased features. We'll note your interest, though. Thanks!

Unfortunately, we have no way to write back to the original file. This is an import only.

The best way to see how the importer works with your Revit files is to download the trial and give it a shot yourself - www.sketchup.com/try-sketchup

@@SketchUp 😉 Because of ScanEssentials I actually have running a SU Studio version, so a trial is not necessary. What I don´t have is a revit file for testing 😉 so how about an answer to my question since you had already opened this Revit file?

Yes.

@@oliviafeng9100 thanks!

Hi Simon, check out the free Studio trial and test it for yourself - www.sketchup.com/try-sketchup

@@SketchUp Sounds like a plan! Thanks, guys and girls!

@@SketchUp OK. That's not working. Just clicked on the link above and it's telling me that my '30 day trial has ended'... I'm assuming that must have been for SU Pro 202O which I had on trial, I think, before I bought the Pro package. Any chance you can reset my settings so that I can try Studio, please?

@@simonspencer2855 there was a trial reset for this year so you can sign up for another 30 days trial. And test it out yourself.

And all the revit families will be converted to Sketchup components and tagged properly in the outlier. It looks near and clean.

I'm seriously asking what the reasoning is. I work with architects and engineers who use Revit exclusively. And having them share their models with me exporting as another file format, IFC or dxf is a hack trying to sort everything out. I don't understand why only a studio user would benefit from this? Why not a pro? I think after 8 years of running sketch up it might be time to look else where. Very very disappointing. I think free versions should be geared to hobbyists. People who aren't interacting with others through there models. Pro is for, well, pros. People who are doing interactive work which involves people who use different software. So importing a file type should be a feature for a pro user. I can understand scan essentials and vray as studio only features as each is a robust and geared to a specific task that not everyone will have a need for. But c'mon importing a file type that almost all pro users at some point need to deal with, That sketch up is handling, in it's native format, much better then a converted file. Seems to be a money thing.

That is great to hear, John! Love it when different plans come together. Give the 30-day trial a shot and see if it works for you. With Studio, you can also import point cloud data, and it comes with a V-Ray license for rendering. You can find more info here: www.sketchup.com/plans-and-pricing/sketchup-studio

The units in SketchUp are whatever you set it to, regardless of imported data. The assumption is that imported Revit models are created 1-to-1. The bottom of this article walks through using Revit projects with coordinate systems: help.sketchup.com/en/revit-interoperability/revit-to-sketchup

This is not a live connection between files, but an importer that allows you to pull geometry from a Revit file into a SketchUp file.

Yes, and optimised to get a lighter file for better performance!

Revit Importer is a function of SketchUp Studio.

@@SketchUp and that is additional to pro? How? Why?

No, you need SketchUp Studio for this - 700$ /yr subscription!

Remember, Revit importer is a part of the Studio offering... not available in Pro!

@@SketchUp This is my big problem with sketchup. I pay a premium for PRO and CAN'T get this kind of upgrade. Stupid policy

@@agradoville why do you think you pay premium for Pro ? It’s the cheapest CAD software out there in the market for professional users.

@@oliviafeng9100 I'm saying I'm paying for it....over the free version. Youd think paying for software would get you upgrades like this. Why limit upgrades to certain versions? Why not make upgrades like this available to ALL paying customers?

Alas, Revit does not run on Mac, so we can't make the importer work there, either!

Revit importer is a function of SketchUp Studio. It is not avialable as part fo a SketchUp Pro subscription.

As menitoned in the video, this is a feature of SketchUp Studio.

No... Revit does not support Mac.

Studio! www.sketchup.com/en/plans-and-pricing/sketchup-studio

The importer supports .rvt files created with version 2011 up to the current version - help.sketchup.com/en/revit-interoperability/revit-to-sketchup

@@SketchUp I got the free trial of Revit and converted them to 2024. It still doesn’t work to import them into Shetchup.

@@SketchUpthat’s nice and all but I have the current version of both programs and used revit to update the models to 2024. So something is wrong.

Unfortunately, we can't discuss future releases since Trimble stock is publicly traded.

@@SketchUp plenty of companies from Apple, Nvidia, AMD, Microsoft etcetera etcetera talk about future releases, goals and whats in the pipeline! Most put out official presentations on exactly that topic.

Revit importer is a part of the SketchUp Studio subscription. An active Studio subscription is needed to use the software.

SketchUp Studio is a Windows offering.

Correct! As is stated int he beginning of the video, this is a piece of the SketchUp Studio offering.
