But that doesn't make SU redundant at our office. Taking Revit model into SketchUp is a mess - and I've been tempted to start using 3D Studio Max for that. Remember the wide usage area of SketchUp.īut I've also been experiencing the pain of Revit models.

I would be interested to hear what your experience is. Now I see Sketchup getting obsolete and not being able to be put to serious tasks for visualisation.
I know a lot of people have been asking for the famous 'polycount capable' version of Sketchup in whatever form it would be, and Google never really provided a solution for that. Sketchup can't cope with the polycount and materials don't transfer. Porting a Revit file to Sketchup in whatever format is not successful. Revit files are way too heavy for poor old Sketchup, and since Revit and 3d Max are now sold as an Autodesk package deal with 'smart' FBX linking between the two pieces of software, it is getting tough to keep on using Sketchup. However, with Revit being rolled out as the new 'Autocad' in a lot of firms (including ours), I feel Sketchup is not at all suited for the job anymore. I have the AutoDesk AEC collection so I have access to Revit if needed.I was wondering what your experience is with working with Sketchup in larger architectural offices, especially on 3D visualisation and photoreal rendering.įor 10 years I have been using Sketchup as an architect, both as an independant architect and as employee for bigger firms. I honestly don’t know.ĭoesn’t Tekla work with Revit files already? Well if any one needs a few files converted to see how they would work I can do it for them. Maybe RVT files just have too much data/information in them for SU. Not to be cynical but it doesn’t seem to be AutoDesk stopping SU from using RVT files. Twinmotion has a RVT plugin, SimLab has RVT plugins, Lumion has a RVT plugin, Enscape, etc. It seems that other arch/viz products are able to either import or build their own bridge to use RVT files. Nothing stopping Trimble, except for either paying for it or wanting to push their own BIM format, from buying the right to work with RVT files. I’d wager that these people/companies pay to have the right to use dwg files in their products? Yes DWG is proprietary in as much as SKP is proprietary. You would think people would try that with Revit? Each time a new version comes along, it takes a while to figure it out. I might be wrong, but my understanding is that DWG is proprietary, but there are translators because of reverse engineering.
