My one wish would be that SketchUp would make it easier to import other file formats. I have a Revit file that I would love to be able to import into my SketchUp model to save me time having to recreate it. I know it is possible to export from Revit or AutoCAD, but I do not have access to those prog…

@ziggystardog as we have discussed in your other thread the .dwg import issues you are having are unique to your setup as SketchUp in general imports .dwg and .dxf just fine, on Mac and PC. I still have hope that we will find a solution for this problem in your setup as it’s not normal. I know say…

Does anyone know (I ask because I am very interested) if this creates a system where you can open ever files without Revit installed?

I really appreciate all the effort. I thought my problems would be solved by moving to the newer Mac but I seem to have brought all my problems along with me in the transfer.

Hi Ziggy, It is very simple, export the Revit file to Sketchup, by families as follows, first you export from Revit to DWG, taking care that it goes in the same units as the original file (meters, feet, inches, etc…), you must take care placing the names of the families clearly. Later you import fr…

[image] arsketchjav: first you export from Revit to DWG The question is not about how to import a .dwg. It’s about how to import a Revit file. You are assuming that the OP has access to Revit, which is incorrect as stated in the very first post. This thread is about importing a .rvt file. I…
