I’ve a few years of fashions from Sketchup desktop. I can open them within the net model. But it surely seems they’re view-only. Is that intentional by Trimble? or am I lacking some setting or choice to import the file into the net software?
Sounds such as you’re opening them with the viewer. Attempt opening them with Trimble Id
Inform us one thing in regards to the fashions you’ve got? To assist answering you.
Fashions created by the desktop variations of SketchUp must be absolutely editable by the net variations of SketchUp (except the fashions are too advanced for the browser-based SketchUp to take care of, usually which means many hundreds of thousands of edges and faces within the geometry, or numerous massive photos).
No extensions can be found at present to be used with the web-based variations of SketchUp, so you wouldn’t get pleasure from any extensions whereas enhancing the mannequin with the web-based SketchUp. However the net model’s native instruments ought to work.
Right here’s what I discovered:
- if I used “Open” after which attempt to edit the file I can not. It opened in View-only mode.
- if I used “Import as element” then I may work with the mannequin and put it aside in Trimble.
My mannequin that I used to be making an attempt to edit was created in Sketchup 2017. It was a backyard shed venture I created from scratch. I feel it’s fairly primary: framing lumber and roof panels that I modeled utilizing Rectangle software, push/pull software, made parts, teams, and some totally different layers (the layers transformed to Tags within the net model). No extensions or performance that doesn’t exist within the net model.
My assumption is that if Trimble doesnt need it to be too simple for folks to maneuver from the free desktop variations to the free net model. I solely use Sketchup for determining my supplies for private woodworking tasks so I can not justify the price of the professional licenses.
Sorry. It sounds to me as if you’re lacking one thing as a result of it isn’t actually as tough as you appear to be making it out to be.

Positively some form of pilot error, probably an online error. However as Dave already stated, a skp file is a skp file and as soon as opened in any model could be edited and saved.

After I undergo the very steps you present, I’m unable to pick out particular person parts, add guides, something. I can solely view the file. I’ll attempt to do a display seize once I get house.
It’s price noting that I can edit and create within the Internet model. I used to be making an attempt to organize for the eminent demise of the free desktop variations.
I’m going to finish this thread right here. I actually don’t just like the condescending of some commenters. I’ve been utilizing Sketchup for over 15 years (because it was referred to as Google Sketchup) so I’m not clueless. I assumed perhaps this discussion board could be a useful collab area. Seems my assumption was fallacious.
I’m sorry you’re feeling that. In my expertise, it is filled with extraordinarily educated and useful folks together with the entire earlier respondents to your unique publish. Don’t take any offence – they’re making an attempt to assist.
I used to be making an attempt that will help you in good religion. Evidently primarily based on that remark you don’t really need my assist so I’ll give up making an attempt.
