Sketchup - Importing CAD files into Sketchup
In this video we'll learn how to import into Sketchup a CAD (specifically Autocad) 2D reference. We'll also discuss how to tackle imports when the source and the Sketchup file work with the same and different unit systems, as well as some considerations and best practices when importing. Finally we'll talk a little bit about the value of importing references.
