Importing CAD Files and How to Flatten Them

Been struggling with this one for a while. Similar to this thread: Importing DWG; Drawing is not flat Is there a clever way to flatten DWG files without using Autocad? I work pretty much exclusively in Sketchup so it would be helpful if I didn’t have to bother the CAD tech!

Importing DWG; Drawing is not flat

I have a windows computer and am using SketchUp Pro 2015. I have imported a DWG file however the drawing is not flat. There is a long line underneath the drawing which pushes up the elevation. After removing the line, I have the drawing however it is floating. The lines are all jagged and not flat. [fvefdvdfv] The snaps are also not working properly and do not match the drawings endpoints. After drawing a long line, the whole drawing disappears. In the AutoCAD file, everything is on 0 eleva…

You Can Flatten a DWG Import while Maintaining Layer Structure and Components I found this on the SketchUpEssentials YouTube page (Thank You Justin). Basically Fredo Scale, BoxScaling Scale in Z axis and Type in Scale Factor of ‘0’ Zero My BEST TIPS for Using FredoScale for SketchUp - You need this extension! - YouTube
