Skema for SketchUp Overview
The Skema for SketchUp design automation solution is designed for every designer who begins their work in SketchUp and completes their deliverables in Revit. This integration offers a seamless way to leverage SketchUp’s early design capabilities to drive Building Information Modeling (BIM) workflows and Revit deliverables. By facilitating a smoother flow of data between both tools, Skema offers a start to finish workflow that simplifies a typically complex process, allowing firms to work more efficiently and confidently -- saving up to two months on each project. Skema is the tool you need to move fluidly between SketchUp and Revit. With Skema, you can repurpose your past solved designs, generate schematic designs, and export detailed BIM—without the hassle of coding, scripting, or remodeling. . Advantages: 1. Generate Smart, No-Code Schematic Designs Get a head start with Skema’s auto-layout blocking and stacking. Easily customize from there to get faster, smarter schematics. Start in SketchUp, streamline block-and-stack planning in Skema, and return to SketchUp for detailed design exploration—without losing any work.
2. Tap Into Your Previous Designs Gain a completely new way to reuse your unitized design elements that have been solved before. Pull in past projects, adapt them, and hit the ground running instead of starting every project from scratch.
3. Generate New Ideas with Morphing Employ our AI-powered morphing function to quickly iterate design options. Stretch, squeeze, and morph your units without losing the inherent detail and data through a smooth back and forth between Skema and SketchUp for precise modeling without the hassle of manual adjustments or rework.
4. Export Detailed BIM with No Remodeling With Skema’s BIM in Minutes feature, you can overcome the biggest obstacle SketchUp designers have in their workflows: moving their designs into Revit.
