CBuserIndia Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I want to design room in Chief Architect (Interior) & then export/give project to someone who uses Sketchup. The Sketchup guy wants to generate 2D Floorplan, 2D Elevations, 2D Ceiling. Sketchup guy has to generate all 2D drawings & create PDF file. I do not care about texture/colours in this case, however I do need measurementsWhich file format should I export inside CA ?Will this be single file, I export in CA & give it to Sketchup ?Are there any other free softwares where CA project can be imported & all 2Ds could be viewed ?

lbuttery Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 the HD products are very limited in features etc the Chieftalk forum is primarily for Chief Premier users you should probably ask your question on the Hometalk forum look under MENU - FILE - EXPORT for your available export formats I think you would need to use .DXF format Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcaffee Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Export using DAE. Strip a copy of your model of all furniture, fixtures, materials, etc., etc. before exporting. You export from a 3D Perspective Full Overview camera. SketchUp handles DAE (Collada) flawlessly, so your guy should have few issues. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 Jon: I doubt HD products can export DAE files ... If a Chief Premier user volunteered to do the export for them that would probably work Lew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
