Thank you Ekene, for this question. Let me go ahead and say that some skp components do not require you to do anything as it regards to materials application, as soon as you import them into Revit, they are already looking good off the bat, but then there are some that don’t, so let’s talk about those one and what to do in situations like that. Well, There are ways to do this but If you are bring in the SKP file in directly, you will have the list of materials in your Revit material list. It takes some tinkering to figure out which material is what, but you can figure out which material is what objects by going through the list in the objectstyles (object styles is right beside materials in the Manage tab) and modifying them. Or you can find out for sure which is which by opening the file in sketch up, creating layers and assigning different parts of the model to those layers after that, head over to the materials tab and export the materials’maps then save the file in a lower year, (sketch 8 is ok)…. Now, When you reimport the skp file into revit ensure that the layer/levels are set to all, preserve colour and as we did in this video leave the scale to auto detect, import the sketch up file. Now to apply the same material that it came with, go to manage tab, right beside materials you’ll find objectstyles, click on the object style, select imported materials there you’ll see where you can add materials, create new materials using the maps that came with the sketchup files that you exported earlier. I hope it’s clear, I think I should do a video about this, let me know if I should do a video about this process.
@@Burhan_191 ofcourse… and guess what, you don’t even need revit for that… importing sketchup files into lumion is one of the easiest out there… you might just have to do a thing or two for the materials to be up to speed as per fine tuning it to get the best outcome
Thanks alot. As an interior design that uses sketchup and revit. This helps to make sure my interior designs in sketchup match the revit model exactly. ✌🏾
To be honest, based on the technology we have nowadays, and the render engines we have in existence now, it is not the best… but then it has it’s use, firstly it’ll give you something, if you use sketchup to render and you want to reconcile the components between your working dwgs and Visuals, secondly the sketch up components and better than most Revit components the major down side is that Skp components are not parametric(which is a very huge problem 🙃)
Hi may i ask, i hope you can help me to answer. If i already add these to my revit and im thinking about the rendered version,, does it appear to in enscape ? With same appearance i mean. Thank you, i love your channel
There is no way to remove these 3D geometry edges in Revit. However, the lines of any object created as a 3D solid may be made less prominent or invisible by using the Linework tool. Click the Linework tool on the Tools toolbar. In the Type Selector, select .
How do you add materials to it?
Pls response to this question

Sir can these components be seen in lumion ?
And sir kindly make a video on outer wall moudling flower type designs for revit...i searched alot but i'm not getting anywhere

@@Burhan_191 as for the tutorial request, please reach out to us on IG, so you can provide more details as to what you mean… Thank you
there is a lot of excitement in your voice. beautiful as always.
keep up the good work sir
The Excitement is a good thing, yea?

Exactly!!!
You make it look and sound so easy.. but your videos are so informative and easy to follow... Thank you for sharing
Thank you very much Mary, I appreciate you 🙌🏽
Straight to the point and helpful 👏🏾
You already know how we do😉
Simple indeed, and a very helpful insight for the road!
Thank you Brian
Lovely video!. This is really informative.
Thank you praise🙏
I have had issues to import sketch up models to revit 😢 but this video had been helpful; very elaborated! Thanks 😊
Glad to hear about this🙌🏽
Thanks. Really helpful. I’m waiting for the tutorial on how to import Revit models to sketchup without messing up the model 😊
You’re welcome, importing Revit components and models into Sketchup is pretty simple but then what exactly do you mean by messing up the model?
An elaborate video, truly insightful... Nice one bro!!!
Thank you Hagin, for the feedback
loved watching this, you have a way of making everything so easy to understood
Thank you for the feedback Chisom, glad to hear this.
Simple 👏🏿 now let’s see you apply materials thanks
Definitely, part 2 is loading
Very nice video😄. Really needed this, thanks!
Abiii! You are welcome man
This will surely come in handy.
Thankssss
You are welcome Isreal, I appreciate the feedback
Makes it so easy. Thank you 😊
I know right?😂😂
Very direct.
My Boss is my Boss🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽, I greet you sir🙌🏽
Nice one.
Thank you Eberechi
Great video,🤲
Thank you Chukwuebuka.
Awesome!
Great video.
These downloaded materials, are they good enough for renders in rendering softwares?

Hi may i ask, i hope you can help me to answer. If i already add these to my revit and im thinking about the rendered version,, does it appear to in enscape ? With same appearance i mean. Thank you, i love your channel
For Enscape, it may not look cool in the renders compared to other enscape components- however there’s a way you can use 3ds max models in enscape
Is there any way to hide unwanted lines ,so many lines in the bed..

It doesn’t work for me 😢, I can’t know whether the file has been loaded or not
Check and modify your import unit
👌
Agba Content creator 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽, I see you man
THIS METHOD IS NOT ALWAYS FOR RENDERING.. COLORS AND TEXTURES AND LOST..
True- maybe I’ll do the one like that
