Admittedly I am not versed in all of the ins and outs of SketchUp, but I used to be able to crop jpegs in my AutoCad for Mac software and do things like wallpaper layouts or add and scale backdrops outside of windows in 3d sets. I then would import my file into SketchUp and the jpegs would import and be visible within in the model. For whatever reason–maybe its the SketchUp 2023 version, when I import my cad files with jpegs, the jpegs are ignored during the import process. Is there a work around for this?
As to my knowledge jpgs and such do not transfer with a dwg file. It doesn’t in the PC world but I would assume the same in the AutoCAD for Mac world. We in the PC world get around this but using eTransmit ,it bundles the dwg file and any and all associated files into a zip file. But this is only for opening the dwg in another users AutoCAD system. I don’t think that there is a solution for this.
Edit: Well, I stand corrected. I just tried inserting a jpg floor plan into AutoCAD 2024, saved the file. I was able to open the dwg and see the inserted jpg plan in SU. I thought I had tried this several years ago and it didn’t work. I’d be glad to help test any files for you.
So this file has both of these jpegs referenced it it. But when I try to open in sketchup the files get ignored in the import. Would love if you could help trouble shoot this.
