Good morning all!

I'm currently working on a project with vendor supplied CAD files in .dwg format.

The problem is, when I view the file in a DWG viewer (screen on right) everything looks fine.

However when I import the file into SU, (screen on left) it barely imports anything!

This is not the first time this has happened so I would really love to find a solution to this.

Im confused as to how the elements could be there in the viewer but not import when bringing into SU?

If anyone has a solution to this problem, please pass it along!!

Thanks!

Dan

.dwg file from vendor

It gets worse when I shut anti-aliasing off to 0x...

its just makes them a bit more jagged.

I have the newest set of drivers loaded. Previously it wouldnt even let select ANY type of AA until i upgraded the drivers for the video card.

I have been working with SkecthUp for a few years now and absolutely love it.

I recently purchased a new video card ( ATi FirePro V5700 )

However it seems my anti-alising is causing a problem now because none of my lines are straight anymore. They all seem to have a jaggedness to them.

Here is a sample picture before I switched video cards... Nice clean crisp straight lines...

and here is the one now with the new video card....

I have anti-aliasing on 4x in my OpenGL window of preferences.

I have my video card set to App Controlled

I have acceleration and max speed on... turning any of these listed off makes it worse...

Please help!!!

that has definitely changed and helped with my model, however now when i am parallel with any line it looks as though it is not colored in. But only when I am viewing the edge at a parallel angle....

example...

straight on with no problem....

at angle you can see the edges are dotted kinda like before, even on far window pane you can see messed up edges...

i think thats it!!!

it seems alot clearer!! there are very few points that still seem a little botched but it may be my model!!

THaNK YOU SO MUCH MAN!!!

SU Viewport?

Pref window with OpenGL on the way...

THanK YOU!!!

Hello,
I must first say that I absolutely love SketchUp and it has helped me immensely with work.

I recently was experiencing some trouble with the speed of my models. My graphics looked awesome, but when i would swing around a room with a lot of components it would be very choppy. I have a computer that should EASILY be running these files with no problem. So my brother who is a computer technician recommended that I upgrade the drivers on my video card. He is the one who built my computer so he also knows that it should not be experiencing problems with graphics.

Once i upgraded my GeForce 8600GT video card driver to the latest version, I opened SketchUp and WOW what a difference! Flows incredibly smooth....however my graphics seem choppy. All of lines look like the are dotted. Before I had nice solid straight lines everywhere, and now it looks like it has a million jagged lines to create the entire line. Here is the best example i can give....

my lines used to look like this. .................................................... (without the periods, i couldnt make a solid line without characters)

now they look like this..... _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Ive tried a million things and I cant get it to work. I restored my video card drivers and nothing. I deleted version 6 and upgraded to version 7. nothing. i upgraded to 7.1, and still nothing.

Ive gone through all menus in SkecthUp changing a zillion things with no resolution. Ive turned up anti-aliasing,ive turned it off. ive turned on hardware accel...ive turned it off..

please help, my models went from Xbox360 to SNES.

Thanks!
