![]() ![]() That said! If you have DXF files, definitely try importing them into SketchUp and see what they look like. It gives me a flat surface to draw on, no entities that mess up my inference system, and if the file isn’t scaled perfectly, it doesn’t matter because I’m typing in my own dimensions. I’ve also tried to “trace over” imported CAD (by keeping the imported entities contained in their own group), but have found it challenging because SketchUp wants to snap to the imported entities, which aren’t always accurate. I prefer drawing my work from scratch, that way I know with certainty that all of my geometry is accurate. This can cause a ton of headaches in SketchUp. However, in my experience I find most CAD files to have broken edges, superfluous entities or layers, or are not 100% precise with their dimensions. The apparent advantage of importing a DXF into SketchUp is that the file is converted into SketchUp entities, saving you from having to reproduce them yourself. You might assume that the best type of file to import would be a CAD file, but in my experience that is not the case. On Sketchfab Importing plans and elevations
