We build our models in Sketchup. Export a 3d DWG and import that into Revit 2014 (through Conceptual mass). That way we can export sections etc from Revit.
The problem is that Revit sees the 3D DWG as a Mass, and therefore don export the layers we want.
Is there a way to "explode" the 3D DWG in Revit so it gets divided in to the layers we had before it was transformed into a Mass.
Thanks you.D

I know everyone really liked using sketchup but it really creates problems. I think you are better off using Revit's tools to begin with. That being said: Have you tried this?
If they are linked instead of imported, will they then export as a linked CAD file.

Dont really understand you last comment, is it a question?
If the 3D DWG:s are linked you can´t make section cuts through them. You have to open them through Conceptual mass and then import them in to the project. And when i do that the layers dissapear.
All i really want to know is if there is a way to "explode" the 3D DWG in Revit so it gets divided in to the layers we had before it was transformed into a Mass? I know its not standard procedure but if you know some tricks i would appreciate it!
Thank you.

OK .. Then your answer is no. There are no CAD layers in REVIT so exploding a faile only creates REVIT elements.
