![]() Or Creating a twin folder in Trimble Connect and drag and drop the file ģ.1 Option 2.1 requires waiting for all the files to Sync. Syncing the file and folder via Trimble Connect Sync.Ģ.2. To have the file show up in Connect first I Sync the file to Connect or upload it directly.Ģ.1. However, having the file show in Trimble Connect for Windows and endup importing it to Sketchup is a huge process: The process of converting the file is a simple right click on the file in Trimble Connect for Windows and selecting the Convert to TrimBIM option. How to Convert a DWG as TrimBIM and then import it into Sketchup? You can also import a file from windows directly to trimble Connect for Windows, but then you’ll be just duplicating it somewhere in a hidden folder of your disk, with a strange name that you won’t be able to read. I have set Trimble Connect Sync to mirror my Desktop’s working folders online and then I have changed the process as a two way sync between the desktop and the web folders.Īs long as the file shows up in Trimble Connect Web, it will also show up on Trimble Connect for Windows. ![]() Set all things so you can see your files online. If you have it you can download Trimble Connect for Windows and, eventually Trimble Connect Sync. The first thing we need to do is have a Trimble Connect Account (that comes included in a Studio Subscription). I’m not going into those processes in detail. I hope this post helps you use this too, but I mostly hope Trimble uses this post to fix the process. I don’t see why won’t you good folks at Trimble do it, as it would be an incredible upgrade for Sketchup users.Įven so, this is a huge step forward in terms of DWG import results and I never used the standard Sketchup import method since I found this one. However, what should be really improved and fixed, is the convoluted method that we are required to use, in order to be able to convert the DWG file to TrimBIM and then import it into Sketchup.Īll the steps could be automated and become a one click solution. If you have an alternative way of doing this, feel free to comment.The results should be improved, especially as CAD blocks should be converted to instanced Sketchup Components. If I remember correctly, you can instruct Sketchup to export different layers for each material when exporting a DWG (?) Note – this method uses only Autodesk tools, it does not require Sketchup to be installed. Import to Revit – you now have granular control over each Material / Layer combination through Object Styles….For some reason, I had to untick the Block option – otherwise the file would not import at all.Use Import command in AutoCAD, choose the FBX file – choose to have a layer for each material (Assign Objects to Layers – By Material).Import Sketchup SKP file in to 3ds Max Design. ![]() If you have an SKP file and would like to create the layers you need (without using Sketchup itself), you can use this method: ![]() However, this relies on the existence of different layers for each distinct material in the original file. There have been many posts about how you can control Sketchup materials in Revit using Object Styles. You can check which is which by looking at the colour on the Graphics tab, but you will need to manually map Render Appearances from here.Īlso, remember that you can save all related material resources if you go via 3dsMax. EDIT Keep in mind that if you import an SKP directly into Revit, it will create materials for each shading material as “Render Material xx-yy-zz” in the Material Library. ![]()
