Here's a great example of a practical SketchUp model I created and imported. This is the part where I mention some more practical examples. I can't think of a less practical example of why someone would want to import something into Cabinet Vision but that's what they used in that video, but we'll go with that for a sec anyhow. To follow on to the video I've linked to, let's say you simply must have a toaster in one of your renderings of the job you're currently working on. That seems like a reasonable question, right? And maybe a better question might be "What kinds of things would I want to import into Cabinet Vision?", and then, we'll have a better starting point, I think.
To answer the first and most obvious question about SketchUp in the context of using it to import objects into Cabinet Vision, is "Why would I ever what to import anything into Cabinet Vision from SketchUp?". There's a lot of holes in the video and I'll try to fill in some of those potholes with this blog post. But I did find this video that explains importing from a high level.

I haven't been very successful finding video resources to help me learn how to import SketchUp models into Cabinet Vision.
Let me see if I can help you wade through the weeds to find the SketchUp importing sweet spot. But you really have to be a masochist or maybe you have to be mind-numb to try and noodle through actually getting SketchUp and Cabinet Vision to play together nicely.
#SKETCHUP FOR SCHOOLS EXPORT SOFTWARE#
Don't get me wrong, I think SketchUp and Cabinet Vision are both brilliant examples of software engineering that I will continue to both love and hate simultaneously as I have for years. Unless you are very new to Cabinet Vision, you've seen, under the Utilities tab, the Import SketchUp Model button with the red and white SketchUp icon.Īnd, if you dabble and fiddle with Cabinet Vision, as we all do, you've tried to figure out how to use SketchUp to make your Cabinet Vision life a bit easier.Īs a perpetual upper classmen at Trial and Error University right here in Yourtown, USA, I can speak with some authority as I tell you that nothing about using SketchUp with Cabinet Vision is intuitive. SketchUp is one of those "must-have" tools that many of us Cabinet Vision users wish we knew more about how to use it and how to take advantage of it using Cabinet Vision.
