Core capabilities

Bring selected CAD geometry into SketchUp in place

CAD to SU transfers selected AutoCAD objects directly into SketchUp, keeps repeated imports aligned, and organizes each transfer as a separate group.

01

Copy directly from AutoCAD

Select objects in the current AutoCAD session and bring them into SketchUp with one button.

02

Aligned repeated imports

Preserve the CAD origin and apply one shared project offset to every transfer.

03

Move the project near origin

Place geometry near the SketchUp origin to reduce display issues from distant coordinates.

04

Clean groups and tags

Organize each import as a separate group and tag for easier management.
