Sade Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 I was looking at if it was possible to add in furniture to vectorworks, and I came across this video, but I can't find the actual plugin, if this isn't real or doesn't work is there an easier way to add in furniture or do I need to draw it by hand?

ericjhberg Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 @Sade There isn't currently a plug-in from Vectorworks to SketchUp's 3D warehouse since SketchUp is a proprietary holder of that information...however... You can download any SketchUp model from the 3D warehouse and import it into Vectorworks using the Import...SketchUp command. There are a couple of settings to play with on that importer, but we have had great success doing this and there are tons of models out there to cull through. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
Sade Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 @ericjhberg That;s super helpful thanks! But do you know if there is a free version of sketchup I could use? Quote Link to comment
ericjhberg Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 @Sade The Free version of SketchUp is now a browser based version https://www.sketchup.com/products/sketchup-free That said, you shouldn't actually need SketchUp to use any of the files. What version of VW are you using? If you are using VW2018, make sure that when you download the file from 3D Warehouse, you select the SketchUp 2017 version from the dropdown. Vectorworks is always one year behind on their ability to import SketchUp files which means that SketchUp 2018 files won't work in VW2018. Quote Link to comment
Sade Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 @ericjhberg I'm using vectorworks 2019, so I use the sketchup 2018? I was just asking because I didn't know there was an online free version of sketchup Quote Link to comment
