      Hi. I'm importing a PDF site plan into sketchup by first converting it to .dxf via inkscape. It works well, except that the grade lines in the PDF are dotted lines, and these are not being carried through into Sketchup. Any tips would appreciated.

        Are those dotted lines raster image? Maybe the best thing is to trace over them in Inkscape to make vector lines.

        Are you using Make as your profile indicates?

          Are the lines coming through as solid, or just not appearing?

            Yeah, if they're coming in solid that's because sketchup doesn't have dotted edges.
