SketchUp's long-awaited native Revit importer was the star of our Studio update. Now that you've had some time to try it out, use these six recommendations to improve your Revit to SketchUp workflow and save hours, or even days , both yourself and your project team. Spread the word: SketchUp Studio subscription now includes a brand new, native Revit importer. We are extremely excited by the feedback we have received from the SketchUp community since the official launch in February. The following tips and tricks will streamline your workflow from Revit to SketchUp and back again. You'll want to try this The Revit importer needs no introduction. As the name implies, the importer brings Revit models to SketchUp and converts families and building elements into native SketchUp tags and components. Optimize geometry and create a lightweight, well-organized SketchUp file that's easy to use. Most excitingly, the importer empowers everyone in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry, not just architects and very proficient Revit users, to bring in files Easily convert Revit to SketchUp at any stage of design.
Before presenting the workflow recommendations, let's talk about some key scenarios where it makes sense to go from Revit to SketchUp. There are times when the importer is truly brilliant. In all but the most perfect of projects, you may reach the point where a design option doesn't work exactly as you intended. Of course, there is always a deadline, which is why you need to model and study alternative solutions quickly. SketchUp is great when it comes to conceptualizing and communicating ideas. Use SketchUp to make design decisions faster without investing hours Belarus Phone Number List of detailed work in Revit. Unlock new geometry Even on the best of days, complex geometry can be difficult to build and manipulate in Revit. Import your latest model into SketchUp to add the new geometry, which could be time-consuming to build natively in Revit. D Warehouse, a library of millions of pre-designed SketchUp models, speeds up your workflow and lets you explore D models that Revit typically doesn't manage, such as real-life brand-specific furniture, plants and landscape features, or construction equipment. specialty.
Share with the extended team The extensive use of SketchUp throughout the AEC industry suggests that most of our project partners are familiar with the program; If not, its intuitive tools are easy to learn. Landscapers need the latest D model to design accurate site context (not to mention SketchUp is great for showing trees and vegetation). General contractors can use SketchUp models for phased workflow planning. For project stakeholders who don't work in Revit, the importer allows you to widely share updated D models with minimal effort. See what is possible Bring your imported D model to the site using SketchUp for iPad, available with all SketchUp subscriptions. Open the model on your iPad for mobile tours and use augmented reality to take stakeholders on a virtual tour of your next project while they're on the job site. SketchUp's lightweight models combined with the iPad make it easy to present on the go.
