2017 Sketchup Models

[Ashlyn Robello]

Ihave never had an issue like this before, or at least not one that has persisted. I have used enscape on this computer before with no issue, but its been a few weeks. I ran the program installer to repair it to see if that helped, restarted, etc. I could see it being an issue with the speed of the computer (I don't have a video card either), except that I worked on this exact model on this computer before my vacation. I've tried opening a variety of models.

My secondary issue is when I use enscape on my office computer, it is constantly crashing. I know that video card drivers have to be up to date (office computer does have one), but even when it is I am constantly getting this error. I feel like I am wasting hours of every work day just troubleshooting enscape at this point, it is very frustrating.

I'm afraid, even though the model may have been displayed properly in Enscape before we really cannot guarantee that there won't be any issues if there is no GPU built into your machine. The system requirements will have to be met in this case. I fully understand that this isn't ideal for you especially since you've been working without a graphics card for a while, but we can unfortunately not offer any official support for Intel/AMD onboard graphics.

Furthermore, whenever you experience any crashing on a machine that does meet our requirements, kindly send in a dedicated feedback report with your log files and our support team will assist you further in no-time. Crashes can occur due to multiple causes so said log files usually tell us more to help our users. Thank you in advance! If any other questions or concerns come up regarding this or any other topic let me know.

I'm sorry to hear about that. Though, the last reply my colleague "Carl Freier" sent you was on the 20th of September, asking you to please update your Enscape as you were using an outdated version. To that, we received an automatic out-of-office response but no other reply or feedback. I am sorry about the confusion in this case.

Just to make sure, even though you state that you've re-installed Enscape multiple times, are you still already making use of Enscape 3.4.2 instead of 3.3.1? (which was the last version we saw in the previous feedback report of yours.)

I have created a house model in Sketchup and I would like to import furniture as a separate objects/layers but with original coordinates. When importing the furniture models is there some easy way to keep the original coordinates? Maybe this is actually a Sketchup problem not D5 Render problem.

Same problem Here... Still looking for a solution. I could just import sketchup models into Archicad and keep as they where imported, but every time I export to Lumion the textures are renamed and they lose ther settings.

I have a SketchUp model which I have created by importing three other model files. I want to update one of the three underlying model files. If I edit the model and physically import again, I have to spend the time to physically positioning the model again. Is there way to change the underlying model and the higher level model gets updated automatically?

Whenever you make changes to the aComponent.skp file, all you need to do is go into your workingFile.skp and find the component you loaded (I made one called weirdThing here) in the OUTLINER, not the Component window.

Not sure if this is a programming question or user question, but if it's programming question then you can use DefinitionList#load to load the new SKP file, then use ComponentInstance#definition= to replace the instances for the definition you want to replace.

While SketchUp doesn't link models and you can't automate changes from one model to another (without a plugin anyway), there is a way to replace a component with a different one. Are you comfortable using the Ruby console? If so, do the following (note that this assumes your objects are components!):

That should replace the old component with your new one. You can now delete the object you imported earlier. It would probably be a good idea to purge your model too.Note the replacement uses the old instance's coordinate axis location. As long as these are the same model, just with some edits, you shouldn't have any trouble.

Try the Revisions tab in connect.trimble.com to see if you can access a previous version of the model. Any model you saved using SketchUp for Web should be available in Trimble Connect for viewing and sharing. With the free version of SketchUp for Web you get a Trimble Connect Personal account which allows you to have 1 Project and up to 10 GB of space - I have heard of issues in the past if you were on the 30 day free trial of SketchUp Studio and then reverted back to the free version of SketchUp and could no longer access models because there was more than 1 Project created in Trimble Connect. If this doesn't help, try the SketchUp Forum - forums.sketchup.com - there is some fantastic help from other users and SketchUp team members.

Although many manufacturers provide Revit Family and Revit also provides numerous libraries, designers always seek new models and objects for their design and renderings. Sketchup 3D Warehouse provides a great library for designers and manufacturers. I added three Video tutorials to import the Sketchup model to Revit Family for your reference. You may try.

(June 1, 2023) UPDATE: The ability to insert SketchUp graphics (.skp files) has been temporarily disabled in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook for Windows and Mac. Versions of Office that had this feature enabled will no longer have access it. 3D models in Office documents that were previously inserted from a SketchUp file will continue to work as expected unless the Link to File option was chosen at insert time. We appreciate your patience as we work to ensure the security and functionality of this feature.

SketchUp is a popular 3D graphics program that makes it easy to create shareable conceptual designs, such as fully textured architectural models and other graphics used in industrial design, product design, and civil and mechanical engineering. Now, for the first time, SketchUp graphics (.skp files) can be integrated into your creations in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook!

This plug-in no doubt can import sketchup model to CAD. But when the model is called in into the CAD software, the model scale is messed-up. So basically you can't do anything on the model except you have to re-draw again. But, I found in the sketchup software, you can actually to EXPORT the sketchup model into CAD model and the scale is still same from the original model.

I imported a 2021 Sketchup into AutoCAD 2023 and it works fine, no issues. It imports and turnes it into a block. I wish it would list all the blocks its importing, give us the option to choose which blocks to bring in, and also give us the option to smoothen meshes of some of selected blocks.

There are several possible issues.1. SKP file version is beyond 2014-2019. (You can save the SKP file to a version supported by the app)2. SKP file path contains non-English characters. (You can update the path to contain English only characters)3. Some other issues...

With the SketchUp STL extension installed you can export your model as an STL file. Make sure to select the same unit type that you chose in your template (millimeters or inches) when exporting, and choose the binary file format to reduce the size of your file.

In order to make your SketchUp model printable, you need to ensure that each and every surface has a wall thickness. Without setting a wall thickness, a 3D printer has no information about how thick or how thin it is supposed to print your part.

The picture below shows a model with paper-thin surfaces (not printable, left) and a solid object with thick walls (printable, right). If you want to learn more about how thick your walls need to be exactly, make sure to read this blog post.

Once this hole is closed (for example by drawing new lines), SketchUp recognizes that the object is solid on the inside and ready for the printer! You can see such a watertight (also referred to as manifold) object below.

The last thing to do is to click on the second block. SketchUp automatically created one solid group out of these blocks. As you can see, the internal overlapping parts are gone. The result is a new solid object that is ready to be 3D printed!

Another problem that can occur is so-called inward-facing or reversed faces. This means that a surface of your model is facing in the wrong direction (typically this means that it is facing the inside of the object instead of the outside). These surfaces are automatically colored in light blue.

Sometimes problems are tiny and hard to see with the naked eye. There are SketchUp extensions like the Solid Inspector 2 that find problems automatically and point them out to you. Simply select a group or component and activate the Solid Inspector tool for an analysis of what would prevent it from being a solid manifold.

Did you manage to follow our tips and tricks and create a printable SketchUp file? In order to send it to our printers, download the SketchUp 3D print service plugin. Alternatively, you can upload your models here and choose from hundreds of material options.

SketchUp is 3D modeling software that allows users to create and manipulate 3D models of buildings, landscapes, furniture, and other objects. It is commonly used in architecture and interior design.

SketchUp is owned by Trimble Inc. The program is currently available as a web-based application, SketchUp Free,[4] and three paid subscriptions, SketchUp Shop, SketchUp Pro, and SketchUp Studio, each with increasing functionality.[5][6][7]

SketchUp was developed by startup company @Last Software of Boulder, Colorado, co-founded in 1999 by Brad Schell and Joe Esch.[10][11] SketchUp was created in August 2000 as a 3D content creation tool and was envisioned as a software program for design professionals.[3] The program won a Community Choice Award at its first tradeshow in 2000.[12] The first macOS release of SketchUp won a "Best of Show" at Macworld in 2002.[13]
