SketchUp 6 and Revit FYI

[david.kingham]

If you try to import a skp file from SketchUp 6 it will crash Revit, it does give you an opportunity to save though.

Haven't loaded SU6 yet but does it still give you the option to save to previous versions?

[david.kingham]

Yes it does, I didn't realize you could do that (i'm no sketchup expert yet) :)

I thought the FYI would have been the free upgrade for SU pro users.

Visit http://www.sketchup.com/cgi-bin/store/upgrade6/index.html for your free upgrade.

This is an awesome gesture from Google!

Save the file you created in SketchUp 6 as a SketchUp 5 file, then import.

Also, SketchUp 6 does not support Vista (bummer).

i've not had any problems loading sketchup 6 files in to Revit 2008.
