Hello...New to Sketchup, looking for tutorials
Registered forum members do not see this ad.
I am new to Google Sketchup 8. Can anyone please suggest me some nice easy to learn tutorial.
Do we need any sort of plugins to start working with the software?The details are not the details, they make the design.

Hi, first open Sketchup (has to be PRO) then go to FILE choose IMPORT select your DWG in "options" look at the scale factor.

Well somehow i was able to convert cad file into skp and then when I imported the same into 3ds max, the extruded structure is coming in black.
I even tried to render it, but then, nothing is coming in that as well...
Can someone come to my rescue, what should i do, to see the structure in normal coloured form.

I find it easier to make the structure in sketchup and place materials and all in 3ds max.

Most likely, when you imported the model it got flipped inside out. In Max, window select all the polygons and then hit the "Flip" button. Originally Posted by nidhi singhania

If that doesn't work, post the .dwg and the .skp files here?
BTW, you should have posted this question in the 3DS Max section.
