I'm hoping someone with Sketchup knowledge can help me out here.  I've notice that when I try to bring some Sketchup models into Revit some of the components slide around when they are imported into Revit.  Usually I can open up Sketchup and explode some pieces and that fixes the problem.  Right now I'm trying to bring an ambulance in and it looks right in Sketchup put it's missing a panel when I bring it into Revit and there's nothing left to explode that I know of.  Can Idea whats going on here or why this happens? I attached some images the .skp file was to large so heres the link.

I find that a lot of the problems I see with skethup files is the lack of layer control.  Remember, layers can be off, and different materials.

Yea I guess I just don't know enough about Sketchup.  I've tried everything I can think of in Revit and can't get that panel to turn on.

I think that panel might be done by "PAINT BUCKET". You need to delete that, add layers, modify the model, then the color can be controlled by Revit.

Check this old thread.

My suggestion is don't explode any dwg or skp files. Modify them in each program as required.

AutoCAD and SketchUp are all very useful tools for our design profession.

AutoCAD is a very elementary program; SketchUp a very user-friendly and fun to work with.

We should learn how to use both.

I find that often when I modify (eg stretch) grouped items in Sketchup and then bring them into Revit, they revert back to their pre-stretched state or have bits missing. Therefore, I've got into a habit of saving a copy of my modified sketchup file and then exploding everything in it and saving it before importing it into Revit.

You might not have modified your sketchup file since grouping it but the person who made it might have.

You can get a plugin for sketchup called BOMB which explodes all.
