Imported .dwg not visible, reports entities imported successful

SketchUp
21

hello
I have been facing this problem since yesterday and I don’t what is the problem. I imported a CAD file last week and everything went perfectly but yesterday I was trying to import a new file it doesn’t show in the SketchUp file.

22

Is the CAD file a compatible version for SketchUp import ?
For example your SketchUp version might not support the very latest DWG/DXF format ?

Also what settings are you using under Options when importing it - e.g. Not-preserved Origin, Units etc
What units etc is
These can affect the results…

Does it show up in the Component Browser Model tab ?
Are there new Layers [Tags] added from the CAD file
Remember that it might be miles from the SKP model’s origin etc if you [ill advisedly] kept its origin as the CAD model…
As mentioned in my earlier post rogue geometry in the CAD file miles from the rest can case display issues too…

Thank you so much!!

Is it possible for you to send me the flattened cad file as well, please.

I didn’t flatten the cad, I flattened it once imported.
I have no access to cad, others may be able to help you.

Okay, Thank you so much!! :slight_smile:

Your ‘cascade’ file flatten-SU17.skp (227.4 KB)

You could open the dwg file in Autocad and use FLATTEN command. Or in SketchUp, use Eneroth Flatten to Plane plugin.
