Can anybody help me to access Sketchup Go?
I had done some work on S-free, went to export something and was prompted to “Upgrade”. So I paid a subscription for “Go”, received an order confirmation and the billing receipt by email, but no access code or instruction on how to proceed (neither in spam).
In my Trimble account, under “my products” I see only Sketchup Free; under “Plan settings”, I only see SketchUp Free, status “Active”.
Any hint on how I get started using my “Go” license???
My SketchUp Go Annual Plan was purchased on 11/4/24.
Log into SketchUp for Web with the same ID you purchased your subscription. The features of the fully licensed version of SketchUp for Web will be available to you.
Hi Aaron, thanks for responding.
When I log in, I seem to get sent to a Trimble login which, when I log in, I only see a profile page.
I stumbled on getting into accessing Go.
Any idea as to how i can export the following as a 2D template of the simple rectangle with curved edge you see here:
Set the Camera to Parallel Projection, choose the standard front view, and zoom extents before exporting the .dxf file.
Not sure if I’m choosing zoom extents correctly. The entity ends up being larger than actual should be when I import into Autodesk viewer and measure
Zooming does not affect the scale of your drawings. Everything in SketchUp is modeled life size… what you are modeling is the size that will be exported.
How large are you expecting it to be? As modeled it’s 6’ 11 3/4" long.
that’s correct, but when I export and import into Autodesk viewer or back into SketchUp, it is larger
How much larger? What are the import units set to?
it comes back into sketchup at 7’ 9-11/16"
I have an appointment to go to but will be back around 1pm.
I’d like to resolve this so I can get it to a print shop to make a full size template to trace out is what the goal is.
Share the actual SketchUp file with us. As it is you only shared a link so we can view the file. It’s not the same as having access to the SketchUp file itself.
There you go:

How do you get to the skp file?
Click on the menu button top left corner and then Download and choose .skp as the file type.
Oh…I was looking in export, thank you for your patience.
Here it is:

In the model as you have shared it, you haven’t set the Camera to Parallel Projection. It’s still set to Perspective.
When I open your file it looks like this.
Not the Camera is set to Perspective.
As I showed in my previous screen shot a few hours ago, you need to select Parallel Projection and the standard Front view.
With the standard front view and Parallel Projection the green axis will not be visible.
I did do that and then changed before sending to you.
This should be as you ask for:

What do you get with this .dxf file?
