Exporting CAD Drawings from SketchUp Pro 7.1
-
I'd like to ask a question about cad export from SketchUp Pro... on exportin' a model from SketchUp [export 2D graphic option] that has different layers... the layers lose their properties in AutoCAD... i.e. to say... the whole model is in one or two layers... For example if i've made layers in SketchUp for furniture, walls, windows, fixtures, etc... the same doesn't happen in AutoCAD on the model export... the whole cad ... I have to redo the layer thing in AutoCAD [it is really difficult to do so since there are a lot of line segments after exporting the SU Model] .. is there a way to solve this problem??

2D exports do not respect the layers in your SU model, but the exported lines and polylines are layered according to their function in the resulting image (lines on surfaces go to layer 0, and profiles and section cut edges go to separate layers. The only way I can figure out to go round this is to export your model one layer at a time, and import them to the correct layers in ACAD. You would lose the correct hiding of lines, though.

Haven't worked with SU API and exporting, wounder if could this be handled automatically by a ruby?
