This extension can clean up terrain and CAD files for you by simplifying curves and closing gaps. If you need to use your CAD geometry, however, check out the Edge Tools 2 extension by user ThomThom. If you've imported a floor plan, for example, drawing over a floor plan to create a new model is easier than hunting and pecking to find and fix all those gaps.
#PRINCIPLE APP WONT IMPORT LAYERS FROM SKETCH FILE FULL#
Also, imported CAD geometry is likely full of gaps that need to be closed to create faces. When in doubt, re-creating the model with SketchUp's native drawing tools typically produces better and more consistent results than trying to manipulate the imported CAD geometry. Tip: Why use the CAD file as a reference? The main reason is because CAD geometry is often way too complicated to create a useful SketchUp model. Whether you've never worked with a CAD file imported into SketchUp before or have lots of experience importing CAD files, the tips and examples in the following sections can help you quickly start modeling with your file in SketchUp. Hunting down all these little gaps can be tedious - unless you know a few tricks explained in this article. The lines in an imported CAD file often don't connect to form SketchUp faces.(See Importing and Exporting CAD Files for details about matching the units.) This is especially true if you weren't sure what unit of measurement was used to create the CAD file. The size or scale may not import correctly.Here are the known issues that you may find after you import a CAD file into SketchUp: Importing and exporting common CAD file formats has always been part of SketchUp's DNA, but CAD files imported into SketchUp do have a few known quirks that you can sidestep if you know the tips explained in this article. Like many SketchUp users, you may want to use your CAD files to create excellent, useful, and lightweight SketchUp models.
