#IMPORT DWG INTO SKETCHUP MAKE WINDOWS#

Meanwhile most switched to IFC instead.ĭo you have access to Rhino or SimLab Composer? While in the past DWG 3D was used mainly as an exchange between non AutodeskĪpps, with questionable quality. Unfortunately I get DWG only for 2D Plans. ĭWG would be the best import into Bricscad. Some geometry missing and some destroyed L or T-connectionsīut at least also Solids, BIM Tags and Hierarchies. No Materials (not sure if that is as designed), Get some extra unnecessary tessellation (or they were corrupt already)Īnd I get all spatial elements and locations and BIM Tags in Structure tree. If I get some Meshes in that may have been only Meshes before, they unfortunately I get geometry in mostly as proper Solids.

I get Materials in (although I have never seen them assigned in Bricscad so far) I get at least a few Layers in for further separation. I have no need for Sketchup imports but I get Revit Models or IFC exports.

curved meshes (round columns, sweeps etc.) import as faceted surfaces with very high polygon count - they must be rebuilt to make them manageable for drawings.Īny input ? anyone able to switch between old and new import mode ?.

The best solution I found as of now is to import workable geometry is using IFC at present but: Of course this is not so much BC problem, rather Sketchup which uses plain meshes which are a mess to manage in CAD environment.

V21 Bricscad now imports correctly materials _and _meshes, but the downside of this is BC handles meshes very badly, and a process of converting mesh into solids must be done to be able to extract drawings documentation using BIMSECTION and SECTIONPLANE type commands.ĪFAIK there is no way to switch between the 2 import modes (maybe through a preference option or a variable ?).

This gave inconsistent result which needed to be fixed in many instances.

PRE V21 BC converted Sketchup mesh into solids or surface, converting SU components into ANONYMOUS BLOCKS, which were very hard to manage and edit.

I therefore have been trying to test a reliable import process from sketchup to Bricscad.īricscad does import native. I have been working with sketchup for years now now and the benefits (speed / visuals) of 3D modelling and materials in sketchup are still important for us, at least until Shape can add customizable material maps (material management as of now is very basic). I did convert one door so if its a standard size you can copy it around (make it a component first).Īttached: image in Su, Layers converted (the visible ones), the Su file saved as 2017.Follow up after trying V21 for anyone interested.

I recovered as much as I could but budgeted an hour so its a pretty decent job. The stairs had to be un-grouped and made in to solids although there were issues with intersecting geometry on the lower floor handrail so that has been deleted. I took away the dormers and made the roof a solid addition so that worked fine, so no dormers but holes where they would be.

Roofs and dormers are notorious for not converting. Having said that the walls in the attic were solid subtracts so the doors were faked and you will not have 'holes' where they would be.

Therefore your doors and windows don't exist but there are openings in the walls where they would be. I find its quicker to just make an opening. Su does not like windows and doors although sometimes you can un-group, make them a solid addition and they work. Unfortunately the process is not a straight conversion.
