blakel39 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Hello & Help Please, I have just successfully imported a symbol from Google's Sketch Up 3D Warehouse whereby I wish to incorporate into one of my CA drawings (pottery barn sofa set). The sofa set was imported with the love seat, sofa and chair placed in a row. I thought that upon importing this symbol I would be able to 'explode' it whereby I would be able to position the sofa set as I wished in my proposed living room, as I'm able to do with all the CA library items. Can anyone assist me in successfully 'exploding' this 3D symbol. By the way, I am able to change colors etc via the materials specification dialog.

Joe_Carrick Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 When you "explode a 3D Symbol in Chief it becomes a set of Surfaces. So what you need to do is then delete all the surfaces of 2 of the items (Chair and Love Seat for example) and then convert what's left to a new Symbol for the Sofa. Do the same for the Chair and the Love Seat to get 3 separate symbols. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lbuttery Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Blake: you can probably use the free version of Sketchup to "explode" then save as separate symbols before importing into Chief Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
