I was hoping I had missed a checkbox somewhere or something. Don’t think it would be faster than just deleting the automatically applied materials. See above reply in regards to homogenizing material or layers in CAD before import.
Exporting model from revit to sketchup pro#
I can import all three file formats into (sketchup pro trial version) however all three file formats seemingly import the model. My architect has sent me the Revit model in three different formats.

Plus removing the materials from my Revit file (even if that were associated) would take at least as long if not longer than clicking through in SketchUp. Best way to Export a Revit model to Sketchup Today I’m gonna show how to export a Revit model to DWG and then import it into Sketchup Let’s get started First open your model in 3D view. I don’t have Revit myself so I want to import that Revit model into Sketchup so I can play around with various layout designs.

Exporting model from revit to sketchup windows#
all windows are one color, all doors a different color, etc) whether I have different materials applied to them in Revit or not. They relate to the layers in the CAD file from what I can tell (Eg. In response to your question - the materials being imported are not related to my original. The other option, a less commonly used method, is the IFC export method.

BXF file Format BXF file would carry all the design data information of the model. Export the Revit Model to BXF file using the BXF Exporter for Revit 02. The advantage of 3D-DWG is that it’s faster with exporting and importing, and it will give you a smaller file size. Revit to SketchUp Exporter/Converter is a simple data exchange plug-in/add-on tool which native SketchUp Blocks (.dwg) from Revit families (.rfa) and projects (.rvt). I’ve followed this same workflow a lot of times in multiple previous versions of both SketchUp and Revit without the DWG import coming in with colors. The most used method to export a Revit model to Sketchup is to use the 3D-DWG Export method. Well… it didn’t happen before I upgraded to SketchUp 2019. Have you considered removing the material from you original before importing it Is there any way to apply the default materials to everything on import like it did in all previous editions? This new “feature” occurs regardless of whether I have the “Import Materials” checkbox ticked on the import options. This gives me no benefit, and adds noticeable time to my workflow. Since I’m importing something that has subcomponents, and maintaining them as subcomponents is useful to me, I also then have to go into every single subcomponent and apply the default material to both sides of the faces as well. It’s particularly painful because it applies the randomly colored material to the front and the reverse face of all objects, so even when I have everything selected, I have to go ‘inside’ my walls to apply the default material to the reverse face as well as the obverse face. The imports in 2019 come in colored rather than with the default material applied. Starting with a 3D view in Revit (2018.3 if it matters), I export to DWG 2010, then import that to SketchUp 2019 Pro.

I am an architect, using Sketchup to create visuals for a client.
