When you find yourself up against a wall, you have an exit strategy perhaps through SU. Heed the advice of the members here and take a Revit minded approach as much as possible. If a SU model is acceptable then it surely is acceptable to start simpler in Revit too? So you could become more comfortable with Revit initially if you focus on drawing the forms you need and then tackle making things adjustable as a future goal.

The difference is the User Interface, the dialog and work plane driven environment of Revit versus the draw planar profile/shape.push/pull nature of SU. If you forgo SU.the truth is, if you forget parametric behavior, the process to create a solid in Revit practically the same as a "solid" in SU. In the meantime if using SU helps get the design sold and moving forward at a faster pace I don't see the harm. At some point the value you feel you get in doing it this way will probably erode and that will mean you are making progress toward a cleaner Revit focused workflow. If it needs changing you'll have to fix it in SU and repeat the process. You also won't be able to change the size of the component. You won't be able to control their appearance unless you are diligent about defining layers for each "part" of the SU component. To the OP (original poster), if you are "crazy fast" in SU then you can technically import components into Revit families.

IMPORT TEMPLATES INTO SKETCHUP ONLINE SOFTWARE
It frequently puzzles me that people who can study, qualify for exams and get licensed to practice architecture or engineering struggle with software at all, but they do. Seldom is it a "I can't do it" proposition, people can do most anything they decide they really want to do. Either they won't or the firm won't "make them". I've encountered designers that are just not going to learn Revit. The Revit novice that's comfortable with SU has a different worldview than many of the people who hang out here. I will choose this file and enable the Texture option’s radio button. The file should be in image file format so that we can import it as texture in Sketchup. Now navigate for your desired background file in the opened dialog box. Experienced Revit users see no point in SU because learning Revit for them isn't an issue anymore. Now go to the File menu of the menu bar and click on it, then choose the Import option of the drop-down list.
