Wow! Great work!
are Numbers on second image of project 1 made with Sketchup? How did you do them?

Hi Matt666,

Thanks for your kind words

The nubers were not added in sketchup and were added later in microsoft powerpoint

Hi All,

Here are acouple of projects i have been working on recently, comments and crits welcome.

Thanks to tomsdesk for the trees in project 1 examples

Yes i noticed that earlier today when i was working on the CAD model, its not caused me any problems though in this case but it is a little worrying that something important could be missed. I will have to see if it happens with any others.

Cheers

I noticed that some lines are missing though. See the top frame of the first floor windows for instance. This shouldn't happen.

Do you mean the arches above, if so i think this is to do with how i have drawn them i have hidden the lines

Thank you very very much Gaieus, stupid, stupid me i missed the most important step export to 2d and not 3d

Cheers again

Darren

Thanks for your responce Gaieus

I have tried what you suggested and that works in part, i am now able to get a front view but it is only a part elevation. I think i may be doing something wrong with the section plane, but im not sure. What i am wanting to achieve is a full elevation front face,windows, doors roof etc etc but at the moment its not quite working out. Are you able to do this or not, i have attached the model that i am trying to do it on and wonder if someone could take a look at it please

Thanks for your reply Jon

I tried what you suggested, and tried exporting the front elevation but all i got when i imported was the top view again

I set my view to paralell projection and then created a scene tab called 'front elevation' ,then exported 3d graphic and selected dwg format, then impored to CAD. Did i miss something out ?

Cheers

Hi All,

I wonder if someone could help me here as i have no experience at all in this area of sketchup, basically what i am wanting to do is export from sketchup individual elevations and floor plans to be able to import into my CAD programme in 2d. I have tried to do this already but all i get is the outline of the floor plans, can anybody point me in the right direction please.

Cheers

Darren
