Importing 1.0

When importing a SketchUP model into Revit there are a few options. The first is to import it as an 'Import CAD'. This option makes the imported object into the category of 'imported symbols'. This option does not allow for tracking and counting. However, for rendering purposes this is a simple option.

The steps to follow include:
1. Insert Tab
2. 'Import CAD'
3. Select your file
>At the bottom of the window there are several options. Make sure to choose 'Preserve' under Colors. Select 'All' under Layers. Select the level of the project that you are working on, otherwise, it will seem like your model didn't successfully load in.
4. The object will import to the origin point. Move it to the desired location.
5. Select 'Shaded with edges' from the Model Graphics Style tab.
6. Create a 3D Perspective View with the new object imported.

In a future post the assigning of materials will be emplored.
