I’ve a few years of fashions from Sketchup desktop. I can open them within the net model. However it seems they’re view-only. Is that intentional by Trimble? or am I lacking some setting or choice to import the file into the online software?
Sounds such as you’re opening them with the viewer. Strive opening them with Trimble Identification
Inform us one thing concerning the fashions you may have? To assist answering you.
Fashions created by the desktop variations of SketchUp must be absolutely editable by the online variations of SketchUp (except the fashions are too complicated for the browser-based SketchUp to cope with, sometimes which means many hundreds of thousands of edges and faces within the geometry, or numerous massive pictures).
No extensions can be found at the moment to be used with the web-based variations of SketchUp, so you wouldn’t benefit from any extensions whereas modifying 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’t. It opened in View-only mode.
- if I used “Import as part” then I may work with the mannequin and put it aside in Trimble.
My mannequin that I used to be attempting to edit was created in Sketchup 2017. It was a backyard shed challenge 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 elements, 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 individuals to maneuver from the free desktop variations to the free net model. I solely use Sketchup for determining my supplies for private woodworking initiatives so I can’t justify the price of the professional licenses.
Sorry. It sounds to me as in case you are lacking one thing as a result of it isn’t actually as tough as you appear to be making it out to be.

Undoubtedly some kind 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 might be edited and saved.
