I’ve been utilizing the free model for a number of years and am trying to go to the Professional model. My predominant need is to have the ability to import a set of plans (PDF or A-Cad after which convert them to the SketchUp format. Can anybody assist with this.

You’ll be able to import CAD recordsdata into SketchUp. In case your PDF recordsdata have Vector information you should use a program like Inkscape to transform the PDF to .dxf and them import that. If the PDF is barely raster information you can also make a screenshot of the web page and import that as a picture into SketchUp.

FWIW, the free model is just not for industrial use as you’ve been doing.

As an train I’ve been constructing an previous 1900’s writing desk in Sketch up – as I opened the Roundedcorner extension from Libfredo6 – the entire work area has gone white. Is there a keyboard brief minimize to toggle your display screen again to the thing your engaged on?

I’ve another query – how do you create a stack of ‘toolbars’ on the suitable of display screen along with your (tags, colors, teams/parts and so forth…) open. I see them in your tutorial movies – however cant get them to stay collectively. My giant instrument set closes each time I exit too. Please see picture beneath In case you have a tutorial please ship my manner.

Good to affix the neighborhood!
