It's not the best at rendering, whereas V-Ray for SketchUp is probably a much better way to visualize. So there might be legitimate reasons why you want to take a Revit model and put it into SketchUp. There are a few ways in which you can do it. And the IFC route is one of them. That's Industry Foundation Classes, specifically if you want to categorize things for bin classification. Alternatively, there's a DWG and a DXF route. And specifically with the DWG route, it's whether you export as a ACIS solid or a Polymesh. Now, I'll explained any main differences between those and the benefits of using one over the other in the next few lessons. But first, let's look at how we would export a series of…
