My version of Sketchup (Make 2017) doesn't offer PDFs as an import type. What now?

Hi. I have tried to subscribe using 3 different emails and I am still not receiving the PDF to go along with this tutorial

[@abubakarahmed7997]

Nice explanation

[@liliani-design268]

Super tutorial❤

[@LT72884]

one thing to help with organization, find the menu named OUTLINER. this is basically everything that lives in your model. its super handy when you start adding stuff in

[@TheSabaahmad]

My SketchUp doesn't offer the PDF option. What do I do?

[@pablojimenez2008]

Open the pdf file and save as jpeg, then import it in Sketchup and follow the instructions that Savvy explains

[@pablojimenez2008]

Nice explained. Thank you

[@sloanpolishdesign]

What do I watch to figure out how to cut out the doors and the windows?

[@paulflaherty2011]

thanks for this very informative,,,who said you couldn't teach an old dog new tricks

[@rh9596]

Hey! You dont explain HOW you have the option in the drop down menu in Import to select PDF. Do you have a plugin or what?

[@Designstudentsavvy123]

What I discovered was that the PC version doesn't seem to have a PDF option. You have to convert the PDF to a JPEG.

[@gabe9524]

I save my plans as a jpeg and they still don't work wat do I do

[@jacksuzannesandridge6858]

I have Sketchup Make 2015. Can I import PDF like you show in your tutorial?

[@Designstudentsavvy123]

No, you have to convert it to a jpeg first. Or a gif or png.

[@jesse1441]

Would it be better to use Inkscape and convert the PDF to DXF?

[@JillianLareID]

If you can do that, then yes. But, you need Pro to import a DXF or DWG. The benefit is that the SketchUp drawing tools will snap to the points from the ACAD file.

[@jesse1441]

Thanks!

[@mkalsafa]

can you do a tutorial for windows 10 because I'm using a windows 10 laptop

[@Designstudentsavvy123]

Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Windows machine. I'm sorry!

[@gpcm9226]

Thanks

[@YIQUANONE]

Just for info, framing walls are 5-1/2".

[@louislamour1223]

Hello and thank you for the great tutorial. I am having an issue perhaps you can help me with. At the beginning when we resize the model, I selct the measuring tape and when I click I do not have written : "enter value to resize". Would you know why it is doing so ? Best regards. Louis

[@JillianLareID]

Did you make sure that you don't have the image selected? If you have the image selected, it won't work. Make sure you click into the empty space and that there isn't a blue edge on the image.

[@louislamour1223]

Hello Jillian, Thanks for the quick answer. Yes it is the first thing I checked since you mentioned it. I have found a way. If while dragging I presse the option key, then I have the ability to resize by inputing a value. Great tutorial. Keep it up. Regards.

[@denispoussart2116]

Louis, thank you so much. Spent much time stuck in a loop before noticing your tip. Actually the tape measure has 2 modes which are toggled by the option key snd signalled by a tiny + sign next to the cursor. The mode without the + sign is the one that's needed for resizing. The tutorial is very nice indeed.

[@tonielam8134]

I agree with Tanja I also did everything still no PDF..whats the catch? be loyal to your viewer don't mislead them with information..life is already difficult

[@joelmausisa1005]
