instructions for importing sketchup file is lying.. 1. Create an in-place family in a Revit project..(okay i'm in the mass editor) 2. Click File menu > Import/Link > CAD Formats. 3. In the Import/Link dialog, navigate to the folder thatcontains the SketchUp file. 4. For Files of Type, select the SKP file type. 5. Select the file to import. Cannot open "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\RAC 2009\Training\Common\buildings.skp". ????????

the training files are in their folders- what do you mean "install" training files?

Revit no longer installs tutorial files when you install revit. when you attempt to access the tutorials for the first time after install, you should get a screen instructing you on how to install them.

still not sure why you are using the word "install" to describe the location of a file.. if the file is there it's there.. if it's not there then there is nothing to highlight and try to open.. i tried to open the buildings.skp file- it is there but i get a message that it cannot be opened.. i wish i knew why..

also if the file was not there you could not get that message telling you the name of the file it cannot open..

then the file is corrupt or of a version that can't be open by your version of Revit. but if your file is from Autodesk then version conflict is probably not the problem.try this one

thanks very much for your help coreed..(the famous coreed) i copied that file to my documents folder-i opened revit 09- i create mass and namethe mass- i go to import CAD- i set Files of type: SketchUp Files (*.skp) withall default- i navigate to the file in my documents and click open and revit tells methis: Cannot open "C:\Documents and Settings\no\My Documents\52539_buildings.skp". i can't imagine anything else to do.. i can export it from SketchUp as DWG and import that- but not skp.. so many deep dark secrets with revit thatmost of the 350,000 seats are not producinganything.. but that makes it more fun for me..

How complex is the .skp file? Revit can only handle so many faces...but it should tell you this.

assuming that you have access rights to folders on your computer, if your are using the latest, Web Update 3 Build (20081118_1045) of Revit , then i can't image anything else to do also. Revit will run without all modules being properly install. until you attempt to do something as you have, there seems to be no problem. if you can't import such a simple model, then i betting that your problem laids somewhere in that area. If you solve your issue, please let us know what the solution was that we may note it for future reference. best regards,

there was no reason for failed skp import- every file and folder was in the right place.. two months of downloading trial programs plus virus and scamwear invasions and it was definitly time to reformat.. now everything is in the right place again and everything works fine and i feel fresh and clean.. lol thanks everyone and thanks coreed..
