it doesn’t sit flat at the 0,0,0 origin point.ħ. The whole detail seems somewhat elevated above the green/red axis, i.e. Lines are extending past the intersecting end points.Ħ. The lines look thick and are collapsing into smeared black swaths.ĥ. Many of the detail elements are missing, notably all the text, dimensions and hatch patterns.Ĥ. So, the colors are there, but they are not displaying correctly.ģ. Actually, if we look in the Layer Window (Main Menu -> Window -> Layers), we’ll see that Sketchup did create multiple layers and colored them per the AutoCAD line colors. The lines are all black, and we’d rather have them colored per our AutoCAD colors. First off, we don’t have a need for the human figure – select it and hit DELETE.Ģ. Let’s have a closer look at what happened:ġ. Let’s choose our file “DETAIL.DWG,” and hit Escape button right after the detail loads into Sketchup in order to exit the “move” mode that Sketchup puts us in automatically.ĭepending on the Sketchup version and Style settings, our detail should look similar to the image below, which, clearly, is quite different from the AutoCAD display. In Sketchup, in the main menu we’ll select: File -> Import -> AutoCAD files *.dwg, *.dxf. Let’s select our detail and export it with the EXPORT command (Menu -> File -> Export -> Block*.dwg) We’ll call it “DETAIL.DWG” and we’ll specify its “Insertion Point” in the lower left-hand corner when prompted by AutoCAD. Screen capture of a detail drawing in AutoCAD text, hatches, dimensions, symbols, etc). The objective of this tutorial is to illustrate how to fix this problem.Īs an example, we’ll work with the drawing in Figure 1.įigure 1. When importing DWG and DXF drawings into Sketchup, a lot of the information goes missing in the process (e.g. Virtual Construction – Importing DWG drawings to sketchup.
