JMcCabe Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 When using SketchUp models for Chief Architect: Many models in 3D Warehouse come in packages, bundles like furniture sets, or one example I saw of two different options for seating height in one file. Is there an easy way to separate those groups by individual pieces and save them to use in Chief Architect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACADuser Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 I think you have to use sketch-up to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted October 26, 2022 Share Posted October 26, 2022 You can also us the delete surfaces tool in Chief to eliminate what you don't want and then recreate the symbol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be in a 3D view when using the Delete Surfaces Tool, so when you have all the surfaces deleted that you don't want select the remaining item or items and on the Active Toolbar at the bottom of your screen there is a "Convert Selected to Symbol" right near the end since it is one of the new tools.
