To perform the import, it is necessary to map the blocks from the SketchUp file to the layers in Promob, as described in this article's step. Learn more here.
The blocks that need to be mapped are Components and Groups in SketchUp; more information can be found here.
Currently the Promob layer available for import is only the Walls layer.
To import Walls, the SketchUp file must follow some rules:
- Entities need to be rectangular and well defined, with no extra/missing lines.
- Entities must have horizontally flush top faces.
It is possible to use both Components and Groups for import, choose which one best suits your project.
Components
To create the components that will be imported as a wall, follow the steps below:
1. Select all entities that will go into the component.
2. Right-click and select Make Component.
3. Give the component a name and check the Replace selection with component option and click Create.
IMPORTANT: this is the name that will be displayed on the Connect screen when importing.
To create groups that will be imported as walls, follow the steps below:
1. Select all entities that will go to the group.
2. Right-click and select Make Group.
3. With the group selected, give the group a name.
IMPORTANT: this is the name that will be displayed on the Connect screen when importing.
Procedimentos Opcionais
A fim de aumentar a chance de sucesso na conversão do projeto, é recomendado seguir os passos abaixo:
Levar as entidades para a origem:
1. Selecione todas as entidades do projeto.
Optional Procedures
In order to increase the chance of successful project conversion, it is recommended to follow the steps below:
Take the entities to the origin:
1. Select all project entities.
2. Select the move tool.
3. Select a point to be the origin, the leftmost and bottom point is recommended.
4. With the point selected, type [0,0,0] with the square brackets and press Enter.
5. Entities are at the origin if guidelines are appearing.
Examples of successfully imported projects
Here we list some examples of design that were imported into Promob.
- Design 01
- Design 02
Examples of unsuitable projects for importation
Here are some examples of SketchUp entities not recommended for importation into Promob:
1. Triangular walls cannot be converted.
2. Additional lines on the sides of the walls.
3. Non-rectangular and irregular shapes.
4. Very complex shapes that the Promob walls cannot support.
