When I go to the file menu for import the pop up menu for file location comes up. I select the autocad .dwg file and click options. I check coplanar faces etc. then import. An import results window show up giving me a summary of the imported entities. I close that window and the program just sits with the blue circle going round and round and round and well you get the rest…
As for the STEP files. I paid for the simlab Step plugin which has worked in the past on all of my other versions of sketchup. However this time it will not import my 3D STEP files. I have sent numerous emails to simlab (they are very patient). I sent them the STEP file and it worked on their computer. I sent them a step by step process with screen shots. sent them the preferences menu showing the program is enabled. still not loading the drawings.
Again I’m not too bright so I’m sure its me and something Im doing. I purchased a new Alienware computer to allow for better graphics and speed but so far sketchup has been a struggle since I loaded it on this computer 2 months ago
