Looking for some help. I have some Revit files of a chair that I need to convert for use in Sketchup. The file doesn’t seem to be working with Trimble connect and my usual way of converting them. I was just hoping someone might be a Revit user and be able to import and export in another 3D format suitable with Sketchup. They might be able to confirm if the files are broken, which would explain why I can’t import with Trimble.
Thank you.
I can’t attach the file as not format the forum allows so let me know and can set up a link to download.
Hi Colin, when you say you’ve added these, is this a function on Trimble or am I missing something else. I don’t work with RFA or RVT files that often, so apologies for silly questions.
I’m on studio already. You can only import .rvt files, sadly, maybe something for the future but I’m sure there are reason why it can’t be done at present
I don’t think people generally design furniture in Revit - usually the Revit family files are packaged geometry made elsewhere, so if a manufacturer is only offering RFA it’s through an error of judgment.
Sometimes and email is all it takes to get a DWG or OBJ file.
Of course, the normal caveats apply and they are often not SketchUp suitable , but at least they aren’t trapped behind entirely proprietary autodesk file formats
Yes don’t worry had already explored online files, but they were of poor quality, so I was hoping the Revit was were of more use. I also emailed them, and they sent over a much better quality DWG in the end, massive file, but usable. As you say, probably just aren’t thinking about us Sketchup users in their library!
