Need help with a SketchUp model 🙏

I downloaded SketchUp fairly recently (sorta, kinda) ish, but unfortunately my laptop isn't compatible with the latest version, so I can't use Extensions or access the 3D Warehouse.

I'm currently working on a model and I'm looking for a rose-shaped lamp something basic like the image above no with no colour, but I have no way of downloading it myself or really creating it perfectly with the basic tools available.

Would anyone be willing to help me out by sending me the model or pointing me in the right direction? I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

Pousser-tirer ne creuse pas

Bonjour, Je débute sur Sketchup et j'ai des soucis avec le "pousser-tirer". J'ai un mur plat épaisseur 20cm mais quand je veux creuser une fenêtre ou une porte, ça n'enlève pas de matière, ce n'est pas creux. Comment faire pour que ça creuse la matière ?

Merci

I just bought a new laptop. I had SK MK 2017 on my old laptop. But my new computer is a chrome book. Is there a free downloadable version that runs on Chrome?

Best workflow for 2D elevations in SketchUp/LayOut from AutoCAD DWGs (no 3D modeling)

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for the most efficient workflow.

I normally work entirely in AutoCAD, but I'm helping a designer who works exclusively in SketchUp + LayOut. The architect sent us a DWG that already includes the interior elevations, and my task is simply to produce those 2D elevations in LayOut. There is no 3D modeling involved.

My questions are:

  • Do I simply import the DWG into SketchUp and create scenes from the imported CAD geometry?
  • Should I clean up the DWG before importing (purge, layers, blocks, etc.)?
  • Once the DWG is imported, do I need to trace over the imported CAD lines with SketchUp linework, or can I use the imported CAD geometry directly for my elevations and dimensioning in LayOut?

Thank you!!
