That was a more thorough response than I think I expected, but unfortunately I forgot to specify that we are trying to find a way to hand off solid shapes. The idea is for the front end to not do any technical drawings, and have the 3d model be exported to the technicians. I do work in LO, but in our case it would be a lot of extra work.

So to clarify, is there a way to export the 3d model into CAD (as a 3d model) where it is still editable and reasonable to work with?

Thanks!

I have been working with a design firm, where I am creating Sketchup models for rendering on the front end (selling to clients/concept development), but our production house uses Autocad on the back end. We are currently at an impasse since exported DWG/DXFs from Sketchup are not editable, and that means that the technical draftsperson has to redraw everything that has already been done.

Does anyone have any experience with this that could help me figure out a work-around? I am told that the problem is that ACad requires solids to function, whereas Sketchup is exporting meshes that cannot be edited without making a mess.

Any help/advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
