does anyone know how to- or even heard of- constructing a building that was designed by someone else who used a program to create a wireframe- for example sketchup or 3ds? i already found out how useless it is importing one of those wireframes into revit because they are never accurate enough to use for building- even if they will come into revit at all.. not only that but they will never cut into sections and you can't see lines on the inside.. they sure don't "explode" unless they explode your program into crashing.. all they ever do is view from the top front and sides as one big bunch of useless lines.. i found out that most of those wireframe models will export to DWF and they can be broken up into parts you can see and measure in there.. and then i'm thinking somehow to save them as images to import into revit for tracing or something.. it's not only sketchup and 3ds- there are dozens of modelling programs that artists use to create architectural concept models.. i'm wondering if anybody really knows a practical way to get these wireframe concept models into revit for construction? i've heard so many wild ideas but i don't think many know how to do it.. someone please find an answer to this because this is not just a how-to-do- a certain operation- this is a major purpose of revit for architecture.. it's true revit finally has a better design/massing component but not everyone who uses revit is an artist/designer- and revit is really more about producing construction documents and a model to inspect prior to starting the CDs than concept design..
