Every modern building starts in Revit. But the people who actually build it don't use Revit. Form and Field brings BIM intelligence into SketchUp so GCs, PMs, and estimators can see, organize, and quantify what the architects designed. And when Rev 2 shows up, you don't start over.
Revit models hold everything you need to build. Form and Field translates that data into a tool you already know.
One-click scan classifies every entity by IFC type, material, geometry, and naming conventions. A learning system improves with every project you run.
Isolate categories, containers, or individual entities instantly. Toggle eye icons, color-code by trade, and filter your model without fighting SketchUp's tag system.
LF, SF, CF, EA, and board feet calculated from geometry automatically. Manual measurement tools for anything the scanner doesn't reach. Click a category, get totals.
Import two model versions side-by-side. Smart diff highlights what changed between revisions: added, removed, modified, with quantity deltas.
Pin notes to entities, tag measurements with context, and share annotated models with your team. Everyone sees the same organized data, no spreadsheet telephone.
Map categories to your cost code system, save templates, and reuse them across projects. When the next model comes in, it's scan and go.
Sort hundreds of miscategorized entities by name, color, or dimensions. Select one railing post, find all 47 matches, assign them in one click.
Group entities into assemblies with beam inventories and parts lists. Export CSV/XLSX reports with categories, cost codes, and quantities ready for your estimate.
With a manual workflow, every model update means starting from scratch. Re-import, re-organize, re-tag, re-measure. Days of work wiped out because the architect moved a wall and added a staircase.
Form and Field fixes this. Save your scan as a template. Cost codes, categories, and classification rules carry forward to every future revision. When the next model drops, scan it with your saved template and pick up where you left off. Use Multiverse to see exactly what changed between versions, what was added, removed, or modified, with quantity deltas. The model evolves. Your work compounds.
Import a Revit or IFC file into SketchUp, click the scan button, and pick a template. FF classifies every component and opens your takeoff dashboard in seconds.
Visually cycle through categories with one-click isolation. Use Hyper Parse to grab-and-match the stragglers. Pin notes, assign cost codes, and save your template for next time.
Export your takeoff to CSV or XLSX. Share annotated measurements and notes with your team. When Rev 2 arrives, use Multiverse to see exactly what changed.
