SketchUp - From Floor Plan to 3D Model

Import floorplan image into SketchUp, place it at the origin, and scale it with the tape measure. Tag the floorplan image and organize walls and furniture with tags for clarity.

In sketchup, convert a 2d floor plan to a 3d model using parallel projection and a top view, drawing precise walls with measurements and refining with push, pull and shortcuts.

Learn how to draw a real floor plan in SketchUp by building an outer shell, walls, windows, doors with rectangles, lines, and guidelines to later create a 3d model.

Import 2D symbols from the 3D warehouse to quickly furnish a floor plan, then refine placement with move, scale, and turn.

Use the 3d text tool in SketchUp to label apartment areas—bedroom, kitchen, and bath—placing flat, non-filled text on the ground, then scale down and position it precisely.

Draw a 2d kitchen and wardrobe in SketchUp using 600 mm wall guides, outline with the rectangle tool, add fridge and cupboards, and use top-down diagonal lines before exporting floorplan.

Learn to add notes with 2D text, compare with 3D text, and use the dimensions tool to mark measurements point to point, adjust fonts, and update dimensions.

Export the floorplan by choosing downloads (SketchUp, STL, or PNG), adjust the preview model, hide the axes, and save a PNG of 2D plan before moving to a 3D model.

Unhide axis and switch to perspective to work in 3D, copy floor plan for backup, delete 2D text and measurements, and hide 2D furniture to focus on walls with tags.

Turn 2D floor plans into 3D walls with the push and pull tool, set 2500 mm height, apply transparent glass to windows, and create a base plate with proper tags.

Transform a 2D floorplan into a furnished 3D kitchen and bedroom with SketchUp, blending built cupboards and imported 3D warehouse models using rectangle, offset, guideline tools, and live components.

Extend your SketchUp apartment by importing furniture from the 3D warehouse, filtering models by size, and using live components with a configurable window to customize beds, toilets, and colors.

Apply colors and textures to a SketchUp model by using the material panel, rotating wood grain, and applying oak or gray finishes, with textures sourced from the 3D warehouse.

Create a precise kitchen technical drawing in SketchUp by using parallel projection, a hidden line style, hiding decorations and axis, adding dimensions, and switching front, side, and top views.

Learn to use the section plane tool in SketchUp to cut through objects, create vertical or horizontal cuts, and move or erase the plane.

Visualize your SketchUp model with shadows, sun position, fog, and background color, then explore default, assorted, and hand-drawn styles and export a PNG of your 2D-to-3D conversion.
