AutoCAD 2013 :: SketchUp Plugin - Extra Wireframe
Jul 30, 2013
I recently installed the SketchUp plugin in the hope that I would be able to easily and effectively transfer SketchUp models into AutoCAD and subsequently into Revit.
However, upon importing the SketchUp model, extra wireframe is added to the flat surfaces from vertex to vertex. This does not affect the CAD model as such as it appears that these lines are necessary for CAD to create the surfaces.
Though when imported into Revit from CAD, these surfaces are unable to be processed and the model becomes incomplete, also failing to identify the windows and doors that had been previously identified as the model had been taken from Revit, through CAD and to SketchUp with no problems and then all the way back again.
What is the next step of importing it back to Revit as I am unsure how to retain its levels (i.e Floor plans).

I've recently installed AutoCAD 2014 and noticed when I try to select objects behind a solid (in wireframe) it will select the face of the solid and I am not able to select any objects behind that solid. In the past, while in wireframe, I wasn't able to select a solid unless an edge was selected. Now if I click on a face it will select that item, which is not allowing me to select anything behind it. Is there a variable to change the way a solid is selected while in wireframe?

Junk is the drawing that I erased everything. (junk drawing is 2.6M with nothing in it...) click on this link to download... [URL]........
I wblocked out wblock drawing and the size fell but the file still has all the linetype...
If I draw something in wblock and copy clip it to another drawing then I get all the extra linetype from wblock dwg...

I am using 2013 and have a few 3D objects in the modeling space that I am using view base to put different views of each into the paper space. When I do this and export to PDF, I get an extra green line from the paper space. I have deleted and replaced the view and have tried different views with varying sucess.
Some pieces simply need a different view, however I have one that will not go away. The different view does really solve the problem either because I need the view with the problem. I have attached a picture of the issue, but it is just a chunk to protect information that I cannot share. The gray in the drawing is the part, the green line should not be there. The green line only shows up on the PDF, not in modeling space or paper space.

Is there a way to remove the extra sash lines which, in plan, are meant to represent the sash below the cut plane? I want to keep the sash "nub" at adjacent to the frame, but remove the lines which run parallel to the glass.
See attached pdf for detail of what I'm referring to.

With QP activated, if I select an object (say an alignment or profile view) on the screen and want to pick its GRIP, I have to click the screen FIRST to get focus back to the drawing window (so two clicks). The same applies to the contextual Ribbon, it takes two clicks to 'press' a ribbon button if QP is activated.

I have created one plugin using .Net 4.0 and AutoCAD 2013. Its working fine on Windows 7 and XP 64bit.
Now I wants to create similar plugin in MAC OS for AutoCAD 2013. I had browsed many topics but not able to find any proper solution.
So, Is it possible to create a MAC OS Specific Plugin in AutoCAD 2013 Design Architecture ??? If yes, then any links /references for the same.

Im using Autocad 2012 Full and the renders are pretty good, but Im looking for more realism and without going on to MAX. I've been looking on the Chaos site for Vray and sketchup rendering. The finished out-come seems to be stunning so My thoughts were model in CAD, export to Sketchup and render in the vray plugin in sketchup. Is this possible?
I have looked on the Chaos gallery at some of the models rendered in Vray from Sketchup and found this is what Im after. .....
[URL].......
apparently this is a sketchup model and vray render.

how easy is creating pipes in sketchup I desided to try the same technique in plain Autocad (not MEP or PLANT).So, this is where I get confused. I am starting to draw a polyline, (which will be used as a path in extrude command for circle) but I cant to raise it in Z-axis. I need to change the ucs and then I can do it, which is an extra, and always confusing) step which I am trying to avoid. Also, I've tryed to use 3Dpolyline but it seems that I cant fillet it (elbow creation).what is correct proccess to create 3d pipes in plain Autocad?

I have been trying to install the Eye Candy plugin but cannot get XPGD 2013 to recognize the plugin.
I ran the Alien Skin plugin and pointed it to the Plugins subdirectory under the Xara program folder. What the heck am I doing wrong?
I have run the install procedure several times but the Plugin never shows up in XPGD. When the install asked for the folder I pointed to the Plugins folder under the Xara Picture Editor folder under the Xara software folder.
It never shows up when I click on the Live Effects drop down list.
I am running Windows 8 and do not have any other programs like Photoshop.

i have been using sketchup now for about a year but as you know, the models are never really complete without a background in them. there are ways right in sketchup to add a backgroung but they cant be rendered because the background disappears and leaves only the rendered model. i downloaded gimp to see if i could add a background there but the instructions are so vague that there's just no way i can understand what they are talking about. i know nothing about transparent backgrounds or what it has to do with adding a simple jpg photo background to my model. the more you people try to explain in your ''image editor terms'', the farther away from understanding i get. i know for a fact that there are hundreds of people out there who feel exactly what i'm feeling but they don't want to appear to be idiots so they clam up and so then these questions are never asked and these statements are never made and consequently, you people just on talking in some other vague language that very few beginners can possibly relate to. i just want a simple instructive path as to how to bring a picture to the clipboard and then bring a background picture into that first picture, blend them togeather and have a finished scene. is that a lot to ask? if you want people to use your product, then find a way to speak to them so that they can understand what the hell you're talking about. i do realize that there are those people out there who fully ''get it''...but for every one of that do, there are 50 more that do not.

I have recently discovered the ability to import dwg/dxf files from Sketchup Pro (using AutoCAD Version: Release 14) into Illustrator CS6...
However, the only way that I seem to be able to see the DWG is by selecting 'Scale to Fit Artboard'... When I attempt to import using 'Original Size' or the 'Scale by' input factor the item doesn't seem to show anywhere on the artboard?

With my viewport set at "2D wireframe", all object lines show regardless of elevation which can make it difficult to read and hard to really get the idea of what is going on in the drawing. Therefore I changed my viewport to "hidden" in an attempt to depict what is higher in elevation over lower objects by having the higher objects cancel out lower objects when running over them. For some reason it works with conduit running over conduit but when the conduit runs over other objects (that are lower in elevation) created with the box command the lines do not get broken.. the lower box object actual cancels out the higher conduit object??

I imported a model into 3dsMax from Sketchup.
The model is a 5200 sf interior building space that I had applied materials & components to in Sketchup.
Now that I am working on the model in 3ds Max, I am having some issues with the application of materials to the objects. Basically, some of the objects kept some of the materials that I had applied in Sketchup; however, some of the materials did not come through into Max. When I try to remedy this and apply the correct materials to the object, it is linked/grouped to several other objects in the model that I do not want to apply the material to.
I have tried to make a copy of the material in the material editor and then reapply to the object, but it still applies it to several other unrelated objects.
Also, I seem to be having trouble with my zoom feature in the viewport....my zoom will sometimes work, but sometimes it will zoom all the way to extents of the model, and won't let me zoom back into the interior of the model space; I don't know if this problem is related to the previous issue.

I have created a model within revit architecture 2013 which I want to export as a gbxmL and open in the open studio 1.1.0 interface within sketchup. When I export the gbxmL model into sketchup it does not have a floor, and an error saying surface has two adjacent spaces which are the same space (warning repeated for each room), room will not be translated, and also surface has no adjacent spaces, will not be translated appears.
All spaces are bound to the floor and roof, and zones are correctly assigned, and the model has a location. There are no errors when the export to gbxml is to take place for analytical surfaces or for the rooms. What might be wrong in the way I have assigned rooms/spaces?

I imported a model from Sketchup into 3DS Max. When I apply materials to some of the surfaces, the scale of the texture varies from face to face, these are the triangles that make up a polygon. It's as if the texture is getting stretched or compressed in one direction or another. Other polygons allow for consistent materials. It seems to be random and I can't figure out what to do.

When I attempt to use Illustrator CS6 to open an .eps file exported from Google Sketchup Pro 8 I get the following error message "the file is an unknown format and cannot be opened".
If I try to place/link the file I get this message "can't place the illustration. Could not set a position inside the file." Is there an eps version compatibility issue I should be aware of?
