While in Edit Group mode – set the name and category (Furniture) in the properties panel.
Double click to edit the furniture group – you can push and pull the geometry as if you were in SketchUp!.

Go to the SketchUp Warehouse – browse to a great looking catalog – LINK DWG in Sketchup (a function available for free on Sketchup 7, but only in the Pro version of Sketchup 8) Create a cross-sectional plane parallel to the ground in Sketchup Lower the cross-section down to an elevation that isolates the building footprint while eliminating extraneous objects (structure, mullions, etc.
Here are the steps for SketchUp conversion… Done Update : Trick is not working anymore for versions below 2014 ( it works for old 3D Warehouse uploads ), try to download DAE Collada format and import it to Sketchup. The one ‘gotcha’ (which should be kind of obvious)… if the model is poorly constructed geometrically in SketchUp, then that same geometry will come down the pipe into FormIt and eventually into Revit…Īnother comment about size – you’ll get better results componentizing your SketchUp import – doing a blanket conversion of your entire existing SketchUp model will take longer and be a MUCH bigger memory footprint. Paste the download link in your browser and change s17, s14, s15 to s13 or s8. Some more detail here, reproduced from the post:
Use the same Revit addin to convert the FormIt 360 Sketch to RVT.
Use addin to convert SKP to format for Formit.
