      Welcome, and no you shouldnt have to trace the entire thing.

      If you right click the imported stuff and click explode it should give you a load of stuff you can use in SU. From here you can either fill in the faces manually (by tracing a few lines) or use the makefaces ruby from smustard. Either way should work.

      Would that be an explode in autocad before inporting or explode in sketchup after importing? If in sketchup, where is that command?

      New here. I stumbled across this program while recently at one of my architects office. I searched for sketch up and now have the trial version on the house computer and office computer. I am an engineer, and use AutoCAD all the time, but found Sketchup a great tool for my playing around with floorplans.

      Now for the questions. I am trying to import a CAD file cause I am looking to model a backyard & pool to design a cabana. I traced the plat map into cad, but I to be missing something when it comes into sketchup. The imported file has no surfaces or faces. The house is simple cause it has straight lines. The pool is completely curved with a hot tub. Do i have to trace the whole shape out to create the face?
