Dear Shaheen,

It would be useful to Newbies if you could put your tutorial into .pdf format so that it could be easily downloaded and used for study.

Thanks for your efforts.

1. this is an autocad picture for the ground that I'm going to make . the first one is for the site while the other is for the site with the surrounding houses

3. now import the cad file to scetchup .. from - File >> import

i hope u have enjoyed the lesson

4. as we can see contours lines are in different levels , but if ther r not .. move them above each other

5. now the most important tool is (Sandbox tools) .. but u need to activate this tool - Window >> preferences

6. after that a new list appear choose .. Extensions >> Sandbox tools

7. if the icons haven't appeared go to .. View >> toolbars >> sandbox tools

9. now how to make the roads ?? select the road from the plan and click on Drape icon then click on the blue box

10. now u can hide contours lines from layer manager:

11. now bring the second plan (the one with the houses ) under the site .. make every building as a group , as in step no. 9 drape the houses then move all of the groups for its location on the site:
