Hey all.  In the past our office has found good success with some clients showing sketchy style renderings early in the design process.  My research on this forum and others suggests that there is not a seamless way to do this in Revit (bummer).  We've tried using Illustrator and had mixed results - better for plans than three dimensional views.  Ideally a sketch-up style would be nice. 

Any good workflow recommendations?

Thanks in advance!

You were given a copy of impressions with your Revit.  Your answer is with that program.

I used a demo copy of impressions years ago but thought that the program was discontinued.  I didnt see it bundled with Building Design Suite 2014 and the only info I can find on the autodes website is from 2009.  Is it still current/supported/compatible with BDS 2014?

Thanks!

Try exporting your Revit models to .dwg and bring into SketchUp

Your right, they have not upgraded Impressions but our last Impression3 still works because Impressions doesn't use the Revit file.
