Most of them work, I've had trouble with Release 12 not recognizing the units, so anything really from 2000 on will be absolutely fine. And we'll go to File, Export, 3D Model then save it to a safe place and give it a file name and then go down to your Options and pick an AutoCAD version. So how do we go about exporting in the first place? I'll just take my style back to the default style. Unfortunately, unless you want to go into a third program like 3D Studio Max, it's very difficult to get rid of all these hidden lines in the control so nicely inside of SketchUp, unfortunately don't hide themselves when it's imported as either at DXF or DWG. And well, there are several ways in which you control the way the lines work. Now these colors will be fairly obvious when you import your object into Revit. I can make Canvas much brighter so then we can see that's highlighted against these doors which are slightly different color. So for example if I look on Canvas and click on that. Now, it's a very good idea also to make sure that you'd get distinct differences between the layer colors. And then if we click on Edit style and Color by Layers then this gives us the option of seeing where everything is in relationship to these layer options here.

And another way great way of checking that you've got all your elements on the correct layers is to go to the Styles option. It's not absolutely perfectly but it's certainly good enough for the purposes of this. As far as this beach hut goes, if we drop down into the layers, then we can see we've got quite a few little layers set up. Otherwise, you won't be able to control the materials. So if for example, you want the doors to look different than the cladding or the roof to look different from the glazing, then you've got to make sure these are on different layers. So regardless of what the components of the elements are, the only way you can control those is by layer. Most of the controllability of the materials is done through the layers. And not only is it important to have sort of good modeling technique inside of SkecthUp and layers become massively important when you import objects into Revit.

SketchUp Pro gives you the option to export to DXF and DWG. Now chapter three is all about the DWG and DXF options inside of Revit.
