Directly import in Blender 2.92 the SketchUp models, up to version 2020, with add-on SketchUp Importer v0.21 (for Blender 2.83 LTS) by Arindam Mondal.
The next step in learning will be to improve the materials and lights.

Fill in and converting irregular mesh terrain to quads/triangles
starting from this discussion:
Hey everyone! I’m trying to heal this terrain together, you can see the grey area is the area I’ve healed and added using soap skin bubble and profile builder smart edge selector to quickly select edges of area I wanted a soap skin onto… Now it is merged together, however I cannot seem to figure out how to merge all of the mesh together so that it has a consistent geometrical mesh to it. I have two questions.
1: What is the fastest way using a plugin or not to turn an entire mesh and convert it…

Hi Guys, Im trying to draw these in Sketchup. Im a new user and the angles are proving to be difficult as they do not sit on the red, blue green axis. Assuming the overall cube dimension of the light is 300mm. How would I go about working out the compound angles?
