Import SketchUp model to CAD

Question

How to import SketchUpRealCAD?

Answer

First, open RealCAD or LANDWorksCAD and go to Tools > Load Application.

Select ‘Google SketchUp Interface‘ and click OK.

An additional toolbar will appear in your screen. Click on the ‘Folder’ icon to select a SketchUp model to import.

Select the file you would like to import, click on Open

After a few seconds the SketchUp model will be successfully imported.

To see the model in 3D, we have to change the view. Go to View Commands > Display a 3D view in a new window, then select ISO and click OK.

Now you should be able to see the model in ISO view.

With both views on the screen, you can go to Window > Tile to have a better look of the drawing.

Now, let’s add some shading. Go to Render Commands > Shade the current window (make sure the ISO view is currently selected)

On the dialog box, check Use OpenGL for rendering, then click OK.

And this is the result.
