I have a design competition and I need graphics. I’m not really confident in my sketchup skills either so if it’s near impossible or very hard I’ll just draw it all or ps it. Help

I'm looking for a program where I can sketch water inlets and outlets in a room, electrical sockets, as well as cables that supply power to sockets, switches, and other components, along with tables for cultivation, a pump, a water reservoir, water pipes running from the reservoir and pump to the table, etc. Any help?

Hello! I am a beginner in sketchup. I was trying to export some scenes from sketchup to autocad but I kept having issues with back edges, all the lines show up on autocad. It does the same once I try to convert layout(sketchup) to pdf. Sorry for my english, I am not a native speaker. I'm attaching some pictures that will illustrate what I am talking about. I hope someone can help me, I would be grateful.

Hi! I’m looking to buy a laptop as gift to my mother for her to use Sketchup. Though I am quite familiar with computer stuff, I have never used Sketchup or any other rendering program before.

Would this suffice?

Lenovo LOQ

• Intel Core i5 12450H
• 16 GB RAM DDR5 4800MHz
• SSD M.2 512 GB
• Nvidia RTX 2050 4GB GDDR6

Thank you in advance!

Hi, after upgrading from an 2015 MacBook Pro (intel based CPU) to a new MacBook Pro with a M2 Max CPU (14 CPU cores and 38 GPU cores), 64GB memory and runnin the latest version of MacOS I am totally disappointed with the performance of Sketchup Pro. Sketchup is so slow to response to nearly all tool changes, sometimes I have to select the tool like 3,4 or 5 times until it finally responds and the point to select a object to be moved for example shows up.

It's driving me nuts to be honest and is stoping me from work so often

With my hardware configuration, Sketchup should be like a rocket ship but it's actually more like a rusty bicycle.

Is this due to Trimble never really implementing the change from Intel based CPU's to Apple Silicon CPU's? Any hopes of Sketchup 2024 fixing such issues? if it ever will be released...

Anyone else suffering from similar issues?

I want to create a curved opening/ recess on a curved surface but i cant seem to really work on the curved surface how I'd like to. I went on Youtube, searched for tutorials and could only find one which suggested using the tools on surface extension which apparently is in the sketchup extension warehouse. I searched it up but it did not show up anywhere, (sketchup extension warehouse, google). If it helps, I am using sketchup pro 2022.

It would be great to receive suggestions of what to do, or if there are any alternatives. My interior design project assignment concept is very much reliant on curved surfaces and this problem is setting me back and costing me a lot of time. I am nowhere near done and I am very worried about the deadline.

I just upgraded from using the web version to Pro. I downloaded the app to run locally. I'm losing my hair with this issue...

Whenever I attempt to draw a rectangle on a surface with the intention of extruding it, there is no reference indicator? So I cannot run my tool down a edge, etc. and when I click it just randomly starts the origin point.

Never had this issue for the 8+ hrs I worked with free web version.

Only fix is to command-tab into another program and then go back and it magically starts working again. Driving me a bit nuts.

Anyone know of a work around besides tabbing out of the program?

Hey there I am new to using sketchup. Does anyone know why when I insert materials, whether from import or already in sketchup it does this scattered/ splotchy effect.. again I’m a super newbie so anything is helpful. Trying to find videos but haven’t seen anyone address the issue I have.

When i try to add colour/texture to the deck nothing is changing is just this translution situation

I've imported a marble jpg as a texture to this curved edge vanity but the results are not what I want. It has mapped each segment of the curve separately and I'd like the marble veining to be continuous so that it appears realistic. How can I adjust to achieve this? Does the jpg resolution make a difference? FYI _ I didn't apply this texture to the group, but on a face and then used ( Alt ) sample material for the rest. Any suggestion are appreciated! Sketchup pro 2020 is what I'm using.

I was creating a curved structure and used Circle Tool with 999 sides to make it look smoother, but when I tried to pull it, it looks like this. Can I hide it or remove it? Does this affect putting texture on the wall? Thank you!

I have a .skp file I would like to export as a .dwg and .dxf file (both 2D and 3D). However, you need premium to do that and I don't want to pay $120 just to export 1 project. Does anyone with premium mind if I email them my .skp file to export for me?

For example if I want a 3 door cabinet and I download a 2 door cabinet, I try to scale up the top and bottom panels and copy paste one of the doors. But there are so many edges of the doors and intricate edges connected to the top and bottom that it does not scale independently, and drags and skews the entire thing....

Did i explain that correctly?

The result of doing texture>projected>bucket tool. How do I place an image exactly as the terrain below and not cropped into geometry?

I’m very new to Sketchup and I’ve noticed that dimensions I type in aren’t always accurate.

If I model a 2x4 piece of lumber at 85”, make it a component, and then add several of these to my model, they can wind up at different lengths and I don’t understand how, or why, this happens.

The first one I created will read at exactly 85”, but others can vary anywhere from 1/64” to 3/64”.

This wouldn’t be a big deal if I didn’t want to make a cut list of the parts in the final model. I end up with a dozen boards all being cut minuscule differences from each other, when it should be one part, cut identically 12 times.

Not ideal.

Is there a way to “correct” these?

I have what is probably an easy module involving a sketch up assignment that I need to complete in the next week or so, are there people who help do these tasks in Sketch Up for hire?Thank you in advance!!

Hello;

When I attempt to load Sketchup Free (https://app.sketchup.com/app), I see the Sketchup logo rotating back and forth forever. This recently (the last few days) used to work okay.

This happens in Brave 1.64.109. Opera 108.0.5067.29 does load Sketchup correctly after a few tens of seconds, with a warning about it not being optimised for the browser, though it seems to work OK.

Environment is Windows 10 Pro on an HP Elitedesk 800 with a Core i5-6500, 8GB of RAM and what's described as "Intel HD Graphics 530." This is a little low-powered office PC although it used to work fine and, as I say, works in Opera.

I have tried clearing caches on Brave, operating in a private window.

Brave reports the following errors, though I'm not sure if they're relevant:
