When designing a landscape or terrain, a requirement can be the creation of a topo-survey of the site. Sometimes this has already been completed and the file is issued to you. Invariabley these are in DWG format.

Whilst SketchUp can read in this file type it is not always straight forward to convert it into something that can be dircetly used for the creation of geometry in 3D.

This talk will demonstrate both problems and soltions to working with DWG files

inc:

how to asses the quality of the file

cleaning up imported Tags/ layers

Work flow for working with DWG files

Methods to clean up geometry quickly

Simple techniques to make subsequent modelling in SketchUp relatively pain free.

FAQs

How does training over the internet work?

I use Zoom software. You may have heard a lot about it recently. It was developed several years ago as a platform for holding classrooms and meetings over the internet. It can accomadate everything from a 1-1 teaching session to a +100 attendees. You do not need to download any softwrae; simply follow the link that you recieve, a few minutes before the training is scheduled to start.  

Do I need to download and software?

No. The tutor will "host" the event so there is nothing to do except follow the link that will be sent to you.

Do I need to take notes?

Not unless you want to. An advantage of online training is that the sessions will be recorded. This means that you can review and replay any part of the trlecture. The recording can take a few days to be processesed and a link will be sent for you to access and download the file.

How can I contact the organiser with any questions?
