<p dir="auto">The core idea is to speed up the modeling process through an automated pipeline—turning hours of tedious drafting and corrections into a workflow that takes just a few minutes, natively inside SketchUp.</p>
<p dir="auto">I've attached a link to a uncut raw video in youtube:</p>

<p dir="auto">What you will see in the video:<br />
(I’m using SKP 2018, but it was already tested in 2020 and 2022 versions)<br />
A real-time, raw, and uncut demonstration showcasing the core actions:<br />
• Automated Vectorization: Converts image files (png, jpeg) into over 12,000 clean edges in seconds. This feature still has problems with curved lines and arches but I’m getting there...<br />
• Instant Drafting: Generates thousands of planar faces from DWG/DXF files in seconds for quick conceptual modeling, backed by an alternative high-precision mode for intricate drawings (this more detailed option can take over 7 minutes).<br />
• Automated QA (Face Check): Pinpoints open contours and source drawing errors immediately, eliminating hours of manual troubleshooting.<br />
• Smart Componentization: Automatically converts 1,700+ repeated architectural faces in the line drawing into grouped SketchUp 3D components to maximize model performance.<br />
A quick note on the video flow: At 02:06, the workflow transitions to a group processed via High-Precision Mode. While High-Precision Mode delivers complete topological accuracy for complex geometry (30,000+ vertices) in about 7 minutes, we skipped that computation period in the video to save you 5 minutes of dead air. In the video you’ll only see the fast mode that is great for simple facades.</p>
