Some more detail here, reproduced from the post: Use the same Revit addin to convert the FormIt 360 Sketch to RVT.Use addin to convert SKP to format for Formit.I’m currently usingĢ) Go to the Extension Manager in SketchupĬheck out this excellent forum post by Tobias Hathorn, in which he describes the best workflow for Sketchup to Revit conversion via FormIt 360. rbz file (currently from the Preview / Alpha page).

Which is why Enscape is releasing this Extension, I suppose!Īfter installing the Enscape extension for Sketchup (you can see some tips on how to do this at the end of the post), you will probably want to immediately start tweaking settings. Personally, I hope to see more designers moving into Revit for early concept design with massing or adaptive components or Dynamo, but in the meantime there are plenty of people out there building really nice models in Sketchup. Some architects immediately feel comfortable using Sketchup, where Revit has a bit of a steeper learning curve. Sketchup is still a solid workhorse in a lot of firms, as it is almost too easy to use. ![]() I will cover both of these below…ġ) A quick look at the Enscape Sketchup Extension Enscape is continuing to develop new and amazing ways to quickly visualise and present your Revit model… and now, your Sketchup models too.
