From sketchup to Dietrichs?

  • Hi.


    I got a sketchup model from a customer. I installed Sketchup 2015 in order to open it. I still have Dietrichs 7.04. It can be that the sketchup model is just not very good. I tried to make a horizontal section in 1st and 2nd floor and export to dwg, so I could have something to work from. I was also thinking about exporting the whole sketchup model to Dietrichs 3D, but I am not sure if that would work.


    So maybe the two dwg floor plan sketches is the best I can get out of it, to have something to work from??

    I do not know the export possibilities of Sketchup but if you can export SAT and you want to have volumes (not lines) in Dietrichs you can use the SAT import in DICAM.

  • Hi.


    Ok - but no, SAT is not on the list of 3D export file extension possibilities. But maybe it is also overall easier if I just draw the house myself, on the basis of the plan lines, I can get out of it.

  • In the Pro-version of SketchUp it is possible to export a 3D-DXF of the model. This can be imported in Dietrich's. In the free version you can only export 2D-DXF files.
