Hi guys you may be happy to know that Archicad 17 has much better Sketchup integration. Yet so too does 15 with the IFC capabilities in Sketchup 14

Back in 15 and 16 Archicad models used to come in triangulated Yet with Sketchup 14 and PlusSpec you can have a full LOD 350 model imported as IFC . There is a little more work to do yet this is a huge time advantage.

Here is an example of a small IFC component that I exported for you to use and comment on.

I hope this helps with your work flow as now you will have a bigger library to choose from. If you think it is an advantage please let me know and I have another 2000+ models that I can have changed.  There are no parametrics to these models, they are basically dumb models. The native parametric files are available here
