Testing a SketchUp workflow for messy DWG imports. Would this save anyone time?
I’ve been building a SketchUp workflow for one of the most annoying parts of using SketchUp with CAD drawings: importing a DWG/DXF and ending up with messy linework instead of clean faces you can push/pull.
The idea is to clean the file before/around import, flatten the linework, remove common CAD junk, and then generate faces inside SketchUp without having to redraw everything manually.
I’m not sharing a plugin file yet. I’m trying to validate whether this is actually useful before I package it properly.
For people who use SketchUp with AutoCAD/DWG/DXF plans:
- What usually breaks when you import CAD into SketchUp?
- Do you currently use tools like Make Faces, Eneroth Face Creator, FaceUp, S4U MakeFace, or manual redrawing?
- Would a “clean CAD -> make faces -> ready to push/pull” workflow be useful enough to pay for?
I’d be happy to share a short demo once I clean it up a bit.
