So I have read the posts in the forum and most say to start a massing family in the project or start a mass component family and import into a project. I have tried both, in 3D views, to import and everytim it says cannot import the skp file. Am I forced to export a dwg from sketchup to import?

No, be sure to click on "create mass" before you import the skp

Why not just learn to mass in Revit? Then you can alterit when needed.

In a new project, in the 3D view, I go to Massing&Site, In-Place Mass, name it, Insert, change to skp file type and select the file. I get an error message that says cannot open.
I am importing from a previous client, so trying not to duplicate the work.

Yep. Start an in-place family, in the "mass" category. Or is it generic model... anyway, import the .skp file. Should work -- and you can possibly do a single partial explode. You'll be aple to paint the faces on this model, but you'll find that otherwise it's impossible to alter. You can also apply walls by face, for example.
You can use this technique to duplciate sites/neighboring buildings, if they've been modeled in detail early on for conceptual stuff, for example.

Yes tried it both as a family and in a project. Neither worked.

Hi, Did you ever find a solution to this problem? Two years later, I am using Revit 2013 and sketchup 8 and I am having the same problem with no solution.
