AEC objects in Sketchup


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm new to sketchup and have been trying to import dwg files that contain AEC objects (walls, windows, doors, etc.) But these objects will not come in. Does sketchup not recognize AEC objects, or are there steps that I'm missing? Thanks in advance.

Last time I tried SU would not see AEC objects. You will need to export your ADT drawing to an AutoCAD drawing. IN ADT 2005 it was under FILE and Export to AutoCAD. Give this a try and see what happens. Good luck :)

Thanks a lot for your help. It worked great! Here's another question for you. Can I export Sketch-Up models into AutoCad?

Yes but you will either need the Pro version of SU or as I recently discovered you can use the free version of DoubleCAD XT which will open a .skp file and you can then save as a .dwg!!
