[@ProfDrafting]

Nadir Ghori

[@ProfDrafting]

I think the windows are 3' x 5' or thereabouts ...just bring in a model of whatever you like from the Warehouse!

[@alinodosemba2390]

someone can help me??I'm getting stucked to import my file from autocad to skechup because according the instructions from the video the images in my screen are appearing differently so I can't find the options shown through the video which are not exctly to what I see on my screen.I'm using autocad 2020 and sketchup 2017.

[@ProfDrafting]

You need SketchUp Pro. Also, you can't import AutoCAD 2020 into an earlier version of SketchUp. You need to save it as an AutoCAD 2016 or earlier file.

[@HishamMohamedShareef]

Hey! New to sketchup. please enlighten me on how to trace the walls. when i tried to trace with the line tool it aint getting traced as it is shown in the video. please do help.

[@aleksandrajakimova8656]

You can also use the rectangle command, or with a line but draw like triangles it will fill up the surface

[@HishamMohamedShareef]

Alex 3333 Thankyou v much!

[@aleksandrajakimova8656]

@@HishamMohamedShareef anytime 🙏

[@akshayraut6844]

its important info. but how you applied windows or door sizes

[@ProfDrafting]

Hi Akshay, I just went with the sizes that are on the floor plan. It really isn't that important; you can bring in any window model you want from the Warehouse and use it.

[@akshayraut6844]

thanks mam i have received your ans..

[@amirrh11]

so, how can we import multi-story building plans?

[@ProfDrafting]

You need to bring each plan in separately, model them, and then assemble.

[@amirrh11]

thanks, can you make a video for it please?

[@johnmichaelphillipd.brosas625]

Everytime i do importing cad file floor plan. Its always too far from the space and im struggling when i zoom it. Anyone who could help me? :-( Thank you so much.

[@ProfDrafting]

When you import, click on Options before importing. Uncheck "Preserve drawing origin." That will place your imported AutoCAD file at SketchUp's origin.

[@aramshaikh1776]

Can anyone please help me i have Autocad 2017 and Skethup pro 2019 but when i import my Autocad file in sketchup file it doesn't open can anyone please tell me what to do?

[@ProfDrafting]

Save the AutoCAD file as a 2016 one and see if that works.

Hi Issam, here's a link to the drafting program where I teach. It lists the courses we think are important and necessary for a drafting job here. catalog.jccc.edu/degreecertificates/draftingtechnology/comp-aided-drafting-and-design-tech-aas/

[@Tmbrwlf32]

too much lip smaking lol

[@ProfDrafting]

+Caleb Knott I know! But it's one of my very first vids - I am constantly working on better sound and diction!

[@andrefalando]

I must say that I like the lip smacking! I don't know how or why, but it just makes me feel more concentrated. Please don't get rid of those sounds! I'm sure a lot of people feel the same. Btw, it was my 1st time importing from autocad, your video helped me a lot, thanks!

[@ProfDrafting]

Ok! Glad it helped!

[@BrutafulStudios01]

@@andrefalando I got to admit, maybe I'm just a weirdo, but there's a soothing ASMR element to her voice and lip smacking.
