Features
- Huge improvements to Revit to SketchUp workflow. More geometry with higher fidelity – focused on allowing imported geometry to be usable in SketchUp (e.g. geometry is push/pull-able, has light optimized meshes)
- Helix SketchUp UI now reports warning for “Line too Short” helping users get more elements over to Revit – including zooming to / selecting / and activating troubled elements
- Helix SketchUp now has “Infer Origin” option, which allows users to model components however they’d like and still map correctly to Revit components intuitively
- Mapped DXF from SketchUp to Revit is now loading into Revit as a family
- Helix Revit Status Report now features enhanced grouping / sorting, icons, and updating
- Helix Revit Status Report UI now features selectable Revit Id for ‘zooming’ to the element in the generated Revit project
- Added more triggers for updating in Revit when SketchUp model changes (Window / Door updates are activated on any mesh changes)
- Improved DWG to Pipe workflow to generate complete / connected plumbing system
- Added a GIF to Helix SketchUp to guide users how to sync Revit Types
- Helix Revit “Live Sync” button icon is now more pronounced when activated
- The mapping refresh button in the Helix SketchUp UI now also refreshed synced Revit Types
- Ability to map DXF as different categories
- Support for Revit 2023
- Only showing model warnings for relevant categories
- DXF is now mapped to an Object Style per it’s Sketchup name to change materials in Revit
- Overall stability added for Sketchup to Revit
- Sketchup to Revit update is now triggered when changing InferOrigin property
