Help

Hello,

I’m an architect who never learned sketchup, I always used revit so I don’t know anything about sketchup and Autocad for example, but now I’m interested on it mainly because the renders on sketchup in my opinion have a better result than in revit.

So I would like to have some tips to where start to learn it, because I don’t have idea how to start.

Thank you for your help!

Hiring sketchup designer

I want to build a floating entertainment center. I have a drawing but I would like to have it in sketchup as well as a cut list. Is there anyone who can assist me or who I can hire? I know nothing about sketchup. I do have measurements and a layman’s drawing and reference pictures.

Thank you!

Exceeded allowed activations problem on Sketcup 2023

I tried accessing my Sketchup Pro 2024 but it says I exceeded allowed activations. I looked up the problem and it said to go through manage devices -> confirm de-authorization. That should have apparently solved my issue but after doing it multiple times and quitting my app it still shows the same thing.

I use this app on my Desktop Mac and Macbook and have multiple year versions so it probably wants me to delete past in order to keep using but I can’t even delete the other apps or they won’t let me access. Need help please!

Anybody else having issues with svg importer since the update?

It still works on 2023 which thankfully I haven’t removed yet. Won’t load in 2024 at all.

I also am having an issue where it’s saying my license only has 1 seat now but I had 2 with 2023.

2024 AutoCAD DWG file not importing in 2024 Trial Sketchup

I've recently downloaded the 8-day trial Sketchup, and was planning on importing a floor plan I made on AutoCAD, but it keeps giving me a warning about the "geometry" and that its too far away from the model origin. Here is the warning:

https://preview.redd.it/76k02k6cehvc1.png?width=1353&format=png&auto=webp&s=3536c093bed3e59f62642b823b5821e180df3563

I am fairly new to this program and have searched the Sketchup community page for answers, many people have the same problem as me. I have tried using the solutions given on that page but have had no success.

I'll attach my drawing here just in case anyone wants to take a look, I am on a bit of a time crunch so any suggestions are welcome.

https://web.autocad.com/acad/me/sid/shares/drawings/f6cbd57b-e825-43e0-ae31-4c32b3a4a8d4/editor

Thanks!

Educational License M365 - ALL YOUR DATA?!?!?!?!

For the Educational license, at least with M365/Azure, you have to grant Sketchup permission to your ENTIRE TENANT! You are not able to restrict it!

WTF?!?!?! Forget that.

Money Competition

Hi yall I’m doing a Money Competition for high schoolers and middle schoolers getting into sketch up. The goal is to build an apartment with the requirements I listed below. If you want to be apart of the competition message me by end of this week! 1st place-$500 USD 2nd place-$250 USD 3rd place-$100 USD

Apartment Building Requirements

  • A minimum of 5 units
  • Must communicate the theme of Young Professionals working in an urban area that has a lot of transportation to get to different parts of the city. The apartment complex is going to have a gym, pool, and garage, things that young professionals will utilize.
  • "Grounds" need to be designed *An entrance needs to be designed (not included in the 5 units)
  • You will use the "shell" of the apartment, no furnishings
  • You need to include a way to get to individual units

Thoughts Do not worry about engineering or plausibility Keep your theme in mind, use it to inform you work Be careful of "deadspace" when you design

In 2021, My builder gave me a SKP file. Now, I need to convert it to CAD format…

I am able to open the file in the free SketchUp viewer and I enjoy spinning views of my house and measuring the walls, but I think I need pro to export to a CAD file that my new architect can work with.

Are there other options? Or would someone with pro be willing to convert it for me?

Making a cut list using OpenCutList. Curious if there's a way to remove the "rough" cut measurement

I'm not entirely sure why the rough cut is the highlighted measurement, when I want to highlight the cut I actually want. Any way around this? Using this to set up a cut list for a friend for a build we're doing

Issue with V-Ray Add-on in SketchUp

I'm facing a problem with the V-Ray add-on in SketchUp. After resizing the floating window, it disappeared and I couldn't find a way to bring it back. I've tried various methods suggested online, including using keyboard shortcuts, checking the taskbar, and reinstalling both SketchUp and V-Ray, but none of them worked. Can anyone help me with this issue? I'm not sure what else to try

SketchUp to VR on Apple Vision Pro

Hi Everyone!

Is there a way to bring SketchUp to the Apple Vision Pro? I know about the Sketuch viewer for Quest, but I haven’t seen anything like that for Apple. Any way to export a USDZ model? I’ve tried but they seem to be too big for the Vision Pro to open the files.

Thank you for your help.

Gus
