Importing DXF 2D files
-
Hi all,
Next Newb question; importing the DXF files - to SUP 2015 - is a piece of cake, but how can one convert that import to a a face that can be extruded?
Probably has been covered and a tutorial posted, the question in that case is where?TIA

There are many ways in SketchUp to achieve this:
If the lines you imported form a closed loop that is on a 2D plane, redrawing one of the edges with the Line tool should make a face to form. The imported lines might form a group so for this to work you may have to enter the group or explode it first.
Another way is to draw a large face underneath with the Rectangle tool and use the Drape command (from the Sandbox tools) to project your imported linework on the face.
Then there are several plugins that are designed to automate the face finding routine.
