Export from Revit to Sketchup
Dear All,
I am in trouble in the modelling process . For my research project , I used Revit Architecture and exported both gbXML and .dwg format. Firstly, I am not able to import gbXML into sketch up to Openstudio.Secondly, after importing .dwg format as 3d model solid I can not create no wall thickness as faces in Sketch up .Please let me know if I have to model no wall thickness to simulate in Energy Plus or not. Would you please guide me by offering any information. Yours sincerely,
welcome @shahryar - I added tags to your question so it's searchable. Here's a previous question about wall thickness in SketchUp...

shahryar, when you ask if you have to model with no wall thickness, do I correctly infer that you are modeling wall thicknesses in your Revit file and that is being exported/imported into Openstudio? If you are bringing over spaces with wall thicknesses, that is probably causing you trouble. I think the import process would go smoother if your gbxml/dwg had your spaces modeled with zero wall thickness... like an empty shoe box. If I made the wrong conclusion about how you are modeling in Revit, nevermind. :)
Dear Matthew and Kent, I am so thankful for you. Thank you so much. Dear Kent , You are right . I am modeling wall thicknesses and exporting as rooms in gbXML format.I have to model with zero wall thickness but before exporting gbXML in Revit, It needs to be modeled with wall thicknesses. In modeling Revit, it also is impossible to model zero thickness of building elements .Yours sincerely
