Importing FilesWith SketchUp, you can import files that already include geolocation data or have been positioned in real-world locations. This includes other SketchUp files, and even files created with other software. Importing a geolocated file can be a great way to integrate multiple models for large-scale projects while still keeping the original file intact. You can import a file by selecting File > Import.
Geolocating a model or adding terrain puts your SketchUp design into real-world surroundings. By using SketchUp’s Add Location feature, importing data or site context, or creating your own terrain, you can enhance your model with specific and accurate location data and site context.
Naming something is the first step toward figuring out what makes that thing different from all the other things in the world. In a SketchUp 3D model, this idea isn't just a philosophical concept. When you use the Classifier to embed data into groups or or components, those groups or components become objects that can be managed.
PRO This is a Pro only feature.Add the Scale tool attribute to your Dynamic Component to toggle display of scale handles on the component (limiting how users can scale the component). To hide scale handles using the Scale tool attribute:
PRO This is a Pro only feature. Dynamic Components that use unique textures (textures that do not ship with SketchUp, such as photographic textures of a specific material), must be embedded in the Dynamic Component to be accessible when that component is used on different computers. To embed a texture in a Dynamic Component:
When purging a model in SketchUp or uploading it to the 3D Warehouse, unused materials will be removed. If your model contains a Dynamic Component, though, you may also lose textures in "Choose Options" or "OnClick" attributes. To avoid losing these textures, you'll need to embed them into the Dynamic Component:
