What are the options with SketchUp Make?

“

- [Instructor] So before we start Chapter Two in earnest, I thought I'd just take a little bit of time out to explain to the SketchUp Make users what options are available. Now you're probably aware if you run SketchUp Make that it doesn't have the import and export options that SketchUp Pro has. It doesn't have access to DWGs, DXFs, STLs, IFCs, neither does it have access to SketchUp Layout or the 3-D solid tools. What it does have access to, though, is the 3-D warehouse. So if you are using SketchUp Make, then you can still download all that wonderful content that is available on the 3-D warehouse. The only thing is getting it out of SketchUp Make and into Revit that will require you to download and install one of those many plug-ins. Now if you are not familiar with the process of adding plug-ins to the software, it is really quite simple. They usually are in the format of an RBZ file, and you just go up to the window menu, and down to preferences, and then on the extensions, then install extension. So RBZ, and then find that file, click open, and that will install, it'll tell you that it's installed and ready to use. Okay, so lots and lots of plug-ins available out there as well. Some are available through the extension warehouse, but I think most of the plug-ins relating to the import and export options are elsewhere. So that would be your route into Revit if you have the SketchUp Make software. Alright, we're going to move on now to look at some of the other options that you need to consider before we can start getting content into Revit.
