Issues importing REVIT into sketchup

errror404

Hi everyone,
I'm using the latest REVIT & sketchup 2017. For some reason when I bring REVIT models in dwg format, my whole model becomes glitchy. For example, after I import the model inside an existing model, all of the sudden, I can't select sketchup geometry that was already there and working fine. Or if I try to export objects back to REVIT, the geometry doesn't show up in REVIT (it can be something as simple as a solid box).

I would like to know if anyone has experienced anything similar, if there are better ways to bring REVIT geometry in sketchup or if there has been any updates in sketchup that will solve this.

Thanks!!

Is the geometry coming in at the correct size? Is it located at a great distance from the origin?

What version is the .dwg file? Maybe it's newer than SketchUp 2017's importer is able to handle correctly?

The geometry comes at the correct scale and close enough to the origin (same distance than the normal model).

I was exporting the REVIT model as 2010 DWG. I tried 2013 DWG and I'm not experiencing any more issues. I will report back if I do.

Thanks!

Good deal on the version.

BTW, please complete your profile with SketchUp version, operating syste, metc. That information helps us help you.
