      Anssi, exporting as polymesh gives you one exploded mesh, no groups, no components. With ACIS solids export, everything is nicely grouped.

      I find Fletch's Revit to SkethcUp via DWG workflow to be the best from what I've tried so far (thank you Fletch!). What I'm struggling to overcome is that all Revit walls import into SU as one of two layers, Walls Interior or Walls Exterior. We have different types of wall cladding used in a fairly intricate pattern, brickwork, diff. types of metal cladding, exotec etc. It is a big project and the idea of reapplying all the wall materials inside SketchUp is very painful (other building elements export fine and are managable).

      Anybody have any thoughts?

        I did my first 3D DWG export try yesterday and it was rather positive. Ok-had no fancy forms, but the minuscule rounded corners someone had put on his window profiles looked quite clean. I used the polymesh option and exported from a parallel projection view. Walls, slabs and roofs became simple surfaces, but family items (windows, doors, curtainwalls etc.) were neatly turned into components.
