There are little children playing in the park
laughing and joking as their parents watch.
So therefore I sit and watch them play
remembering the day a boy’s life
was devastating.
Bullets where flying everywhere,
children crying out of fear,
parents running looking everywhere, b
ut as I look towards the ground
I can see this boy laying down
for his life has been taken away
with a bullet that carries no name.

Violence
What is violence?
Why is it happening to me?
It seems to happen to most
People in the street
Whether it’s an accident or
If it’s meant to happen
It’s still violence.
Violence happens to the young
And the old, to the rich
And the poor.
You can make a change if
You can stay away from violence
That’s when everything will change.

Final Report
Objective
With the abundance of elements available on Google’s 3D Warehouse the designer, particularly the interior designer, is provided with opportunities to place the furniture that they specify into 3D modeled space. However, there are a much more limited number of 3D furniture models (families) currently available for Interior Designers using Revit. This project blog’s purpose is to experiment with the integration of Revit Architecture 2010 and Google Sketch UP 7; more specifically, the importing and modifying of SketchUP models into Revit. The creation, importing, modification, material assignment and tracking of these elements will be researched.
Methodology
The process I followed was:
a. Introduce both programs
b. Describe the best way to make a SketchUP model that will import properly into Revit
i. Saving SketchUP models for optimum compatibility
c. Show examples
d. Importing a SketchUP model as an Import CAD symbol
i. Assigning materials to an ImportCAD symbol
e. Other options for importing
i. Importing as a conceptual mass component
f. Scheduling
Throughout the study I introduced tutorials and other similar projects to show the many options one can take with SketchUP>Revit.
Outcome
The project resulted in an outline for the small scale integration of SketchUp and Revit. The goal was to benefit the interior designer and make their space planning and layouts more accurate. Using the blog’s techniques will curb the lack of 3D furniture models currently available. There is a focus in the study towards importing SketchUP models as an Import CAD symbol. This is likely a result of my personal experiences of which is most efficient.
I adjusted the scope of my project from exploring all the ways of integrating and importing the two programs to ways that I was most familiar with exploring. I also was sure to be clear from the beginning that there was to be a very limited scope—dealing with mostly interior fixtures/furniture.
I learned through the study of this project that the concept of integration of programs is much more complex than I originally thought. There are different issues that effect each program, version and file type that dictate its ease of integration.
In the future, I hope to refine my skills of importing these two programs and I hope to explore the other methods of integrated not explored by this study. Also, I am very interested in taking a model from SketchUP>Revit>3D Studio Max to explore its rendering capabilities.
My peer, Victor, provided inspiration for my future study. Also, I thought it was an interesting comparison looking at SketchUP>Revit and Revit>3DS, especially when looking at the level of sophistication of SketchUP vs. 3DS. The level of sophistication we achieved in our renderings is similar even though we approached the process from different angles.

Schedule Tutorial
This is a blog entry/tutorial that demonstrates how to create a schedule in REvit. With this you can track the quantity of each furniture piece that has been placed from sketchUP as a conceptual mass family.

Other options for importing
We have already explored importing SketchUP models as importCAD symbols. Another option includes:
Importing as a conceptual mass family
>open Revit
>Create New Conceptual Mass
>Import tab
>>Import CAD (follow directions as before)
>Open the project you are working on
>In the conceptual mass window Click 'Load into Project'
>>The object will show up as a component family in the open project
Becaue the object is an importCAD as a part of the family the quantity of that object are trackable by using a schedule.

Fellow SketchUP to Revit-er
I found this blog: Revit- for real
It has posts for revit issues, in general, and this one shows a basic interplay between SketchUP and Revit both ways.
