Great video Justin. I have immersed myself into this program for 3 days to learn everything in creating a floor plan. Unfortunately it is too much architectural orientated, and not enough marketing orientated. I need to produce a product that is very good, without spending a lot of time on it. Sketchup can deliver superb results, but it takes way too much time to do it. Believe me - I have drilled down to the core of what this does and how it works. Nevertheless, I must compliment you on your videos. So very well done! And your voice is like a fine bourbon. Smooth, rich, and mellow. Never get tired of listening to you. Your skills are so ideally suited to making videos. Nobody can come close to you in that regard. Keep up the good work!

If you temporarily make the floor plan texture semi transparent, it makes it much easier to know what you've traced over and it goes much quicker.

Hello Justin, I appreciate your efforts in making many Sketchup tutorials. However, for this particular one of importing an image, as I follow along the process, after I Explode the image , I am unable to select just the floor on the plan. Instead the entire image gets selected along with the bounding box. This is making it difficult to continue further. I am fairly new to Sketchup, are there any other settings that you may have to take care of , for this particular process?

I don't understand the issue you're having. If you right click on the image and a bounding box shows up, you click the button for explode. If you right click on the image and there's no bounding box, the image is already exploded and it should just be in there as a face with a texture applied to it. Either way, it's not absolutely vital for the image to be exploded anyway, it just makes seeing the floor plan easier while you draw your walls. Just draw your walls on top of the image and extrude them up.

Hello, I've watched this video over and over and I'm still lost. At 1:34 you explode the image. The entire image has been exploded, including all the areas outside the walls. But at 3:29 suddenly just the area INSIDE the walls appear to have been exploded. You never say how you did that. How does Sketchup know to select just areas inside the walls? I wish you explain that. There are other comments below asking the same thing. Again, when I right click on my image and select Explode, the ENTIRE image becomes selected. It doesn't matter where in the image I do this. The entire image becomes exploded. I am using Sketchup free version (on web).

Really depends on the resolution of your image. One thing you could try is going up to "Window," "Preferences," then going into "OpenGL," and checking the box for "Use maximum texture size." This will allow you to import higher resolution textures, but you need to be careful not to bring a ton of high resolution textures in because SketchUp doesn't always handle them well. Thanks!

Justin, I've tried several times to select only the area within the drawing after exploding the entire image, but it still selects the entire image. I've been importing images from my property appraiser's website for a long time to measure for roof estimating. This makes it better by avoiding the faces over the image below, but I can't understand why I can't select inside the sketch itself without the need to trace the whole thing first. Thanks.

Hi Chris - I'm trying to envision what you're doing a little better - you're right clicking on your image and selecting explode? And then when you draw on top of the image, the lines aren't splitting the face? If that's the case, the image isn't exploding properly, but I have a feeling I'm not understanding your question properly.

I'm importing a jpg of a floor sketch by screen grab and it has the blue lines around it. I then right click, select explode and I can tell it explodes because if I don't I can't use the measuring tool to resize, but after resizing, and clicking again to select inside the sketch of the house, it selects the entire face of the image including outside the walls of the house.

Hi Chris - are you making sure to close off the lines you're drawing on the face? If they're not closed, it will select the entire face.

That must be the problem because I haven't drawn any lines when doing this. I could have sworn I saw you select the inside of the sketch before drawing any lines. I was amazed that Sketchup could recognise the perimeter lines in an image! lol

Can I just drape a image file of floor plan instead. Is it even possible? ??

Sir there is any vedio on your channel about making 2d weldment drawings and detailed cut list from 3d model in sketchup?

I don't know what a weldment drawing is. I don't really have a cut-list video either - I just use either the outliner or a generate a report

Do you have an updated tutorial? My floor plan image does not become a face like you show here when exploded.

What do you mean "updated?" The method hasn't changed - if it doesn't become a face, you might need to explode it again
