2D Floor Plan to 3D Model - Help

SketchUp for Web SketchUp Free
1

Hello All, this is my first visit to the community. I’ve drawn a 2D floor plan. Now I need to go back and transform the 2D floor plan into a 3D version, and I can’t remember how to do that. Then I’ll need to stretch the walls, complete the openings, and add a roof. OR - is there someone good at this who can help me through the balance of the rendition? I’d even be willing to open my wallet if I could get this done sooner than I can on my own.

Thank you all

Todd

It depends on how you’ve modeled your floor plan but in essence you need a face to extrude with Push/Pull.

You should take some time to learn how to use Sketchup. Start with the tutorials and the SketchUp YouTube channel, especially the Square One videos.

Hi Todd,

If you are on SketchUp for Web / Free (where plugins aren’t supported), here is the fastest manual way:

  1. Make sure your 2D wall outlines form closed faces on the floor.
  2. Use Push/Pull (P) to extrude the walls up to ceiling height.
  3. Tip: If extruding wall segments horizontally, tap Ctrl (Option on Mac) with Push/Pull to leave edge loops behind at opening locations. This makes framing doors and windows much faster.
  4. For cutouts, draw rectangles for your openings and Push/Pull them all the way through the opposite face. Double click on any face(push pull selected) to repeat.

Hope this helps you get your project finished sooner!

Hey @N1LESH remember our conversation about spamming?

¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hey @bmike

Yes, I remember our conversation.

I genuinely don’t consider this spam - I gave Todd the complete, step-by-step manual workflow first (including the Ctrl edge-loop and double-click tips) to solve his exact question on Web.

There are no store links, no sales pitch, and I didn’t ask him to buy anything. I only shared a quick visual clip of how that 2D-to-3D workflow is handled on desktop because he specifically mentioned being stuck and looking for a faster way.

No bad intentions at all, just sharing solutions and helping out a fellow user.

You could just stop there.
I’m just going to put you on ignore now.

Good luck with your plugin and have a great day.
