I did that but it didnt work. Ive been trying for the last 3 days... And I need it for my presentation on Wednesday. Do you think you could chang the materials for me for the 3 scooters and attach the revit file? Thanks so much for your time.

Hey Guys, First let me say thanks for the great information on the SU to Revit Conversions. I've done everything correctly and now can get materials to change on my SU Based Revit Families I create. There is one problem I am running into though that is stumping me and maybe you all have some insight on this. So times the materials dont map right to the surfaces in Revit after I've gone through the conversion process. Specifically, certain wall materials. For example: I bring in a four walled house with pitched roof. I change the materials accordingly. Then I render. The roof shingles look correct but things like a brick wall or a stone wall dont map correctly. The Brick (or what ever texture is there but is "streaking" up and down the wall, like its been stretched. I cant' map or adjust surfaces in Revit like I could in Max. Is there something I need to do in the SU model before exporting it out? Rotating the material in Revit or rescaling it doesn't work. Any suggestions? Thanks again for all your input. EVarvel

You are importing "Walls and Roofs" from SU to Revit? why? you can create that in Revit, i only import from SU things i can't do in Revit like cars or bikes.

I Hope and I Wish to LEARN more, and more, and more.... REVIT |

Well, I agree whole heartedly with you about doing it in Revit, and I do 95% of all my modeling in Revit. Unfortunately certain others in our firm insist on developing ideas in Sketchup and always seem to not be happy with the quality of renderings of the renders their Sketchup models produce (using various render plugins for Sketchup). Some of these models are pretty detailed and at this point, remodeling the whole thing in Revit is not a choice due to time and money (Even though good money will be spent down the road trying to create working drawings since all they have is the SU model). So I was asked about getting the SU models into revit fairly quickly so I could render some images for them. And I've been researching the possibilities of this for these models. I've followed your process to change materials and thats no problem and I know I could create a mass family from the SU model but the time involved with converting all the detail would be just as time consuming as startiing over in revit. But if this streaking is going to be an unsolvable problem then I dont see the worth of trying to do this for them. Trying to get these folks to just start the projects in Revit is not a battle I want to wage even though I could produce a good revit Model in less time then they are producing the SU models (I've uploaded three renders of mine I modeled and rendered with revit to the Gallery last night to show the kind of modeling I generally do). Some people are just stubborn an refuse to get on board fully with Revit from the Get go. So if there is no solution to this streaking then so be it. I will tell them no bet and move on. But I am always interested in trying to help the best I can and figure out whats not been done yet and this is one of those situations. So is there a solution or should I just tell them "No bet, you should have started in Revit"? Thanks, EVarvel

Okay, never mind my question (unless you have an answer). I just exported the SU file to an FBX file. Then took it into Max to render. With a little adjustment to materials and what not, problem solved for the Sketchup-heads I work with. Thanks for listening anyway!
