Use SKP to DWG when a project handoff needs a CAD drawing instead of a SketchUp model. Upload your SKP, export visible faces and edges, and download a separate DWG while keeping the source file unchanged.

Visible model geometry exports as 3D faces and lines in millimeters. Open and review the drawing in your CAD application.

SKP to DWG moves visible model geometry into a CAD drawing. Compare the source view with exported faces and edges before you prepare a project handoff, checking that the displayed model parts match your intended export.
SKP to DWG exports visible faces and eligible edges into an R2000 drawing measured in millimeters. Component placements are applied to their geometry, giving the CAD recipient a drawing that follows the model's assembled arrangement rather than a collection of unpositioned parts.

SKP to DWG keeps successful drawing downloads in your private account history for seven days. Return from another signed-in session when you need the export again, and save a project copy before the download expires so the handoff remains available to your team.
Export a DWG drawing
An architect may receive a SketchUp study while a consultant requests DWG. SKP to DWG provides the format bridge for that exchange, giving you a drawing to inspect, organize, and continue working with in your chosen CAD environment.
Prepare your CAD handoffUpload the SKP supplied for your project. Start SKP to DWG with a complete model file, retaining your original in the project folder.
Start the export and wait for the result. Keep the selected model available if the operation reports a problem that needs another attempt.
Download your DWG, then open it in the CAD application used for the handoff. Check the project geometry before sharing the drawing onward.
SKP to DWG fits the point where model-based design meets a drawing-based project exchange. Keep ownership of the source and make the exported file easy to identify, inspect, and share.
SKP to DWG helps when a consultant asks for DWG and your available project file is a SketchUp model ready for export.
Keep the original SKP for SketchUp work. Treat the drawing from SKP to DWG as a separate handoff rather than overwriting your source.
Open the SKP to DWG result in your CAD application and compare the parts that matter to the recipient before approving the exchange.
Use SKP to DWG for a CAD file request. Choose the version converter when the recipient needs an older SKP instead of DWG.
Need a SketchUp file instead? convert to an older SketchUp version or reduce SKP file size.
SKP to DWG converts visible SketchUp model faces into 3D faces and eligible edges into lines. It writes an R2000 DWG in millimeters, applying group and component placements to the exported geometry. Content hidden in the model's default state is excluded from the drawing.
Your original remains separate from the exported drawing. The export creates a result for download rather than replacing the input in your project folder. Keep both files until you have opened the DWG and confirmed it contains the information required for the next stage of your project.
Open the SKP to DWG result in a compatible CAD application to edit its exported faces and lines. Components are flattened into drawing geometry rather than native parametric solids. Textures, scenes, annotations, and dynamic-model behavior are not transferred; indexed drawing colors approximate the model colors.
The formats serve different applications. SKP to DWG prepares a CAD drawing, while the version converter keeps the output as a SketchUp model. Match the tool to the recipient's request before processing. If they need to open an SKP in an older SketchUp release, use the homepage converter.
SKP to DWG transfers supported model geometry into a drawing file. Review that geometry in CAD and prepare the views, annotations, and drawing organization required by your project. Do not assume a model export already includes a complete set of dimensions, notes, layouts, or construction information for delivery.
First confirm whether the consultant needs a CAD drawing or the SketchUp source model. Use your exported DWG for the drawing request, after inspecting it in a suitable viewer. Keep the original SKP available when the recipient also needs the source for model-based design work.
Open the SKP to DWG output in the application intended for the handoff. Check the millimeter units, overall placement, visible faces, and linework against the source view. Inspect the parts your colleague will use, then make project-specific drawing adjustments before relying on the file as a deliverable.
SKP to DWG needs a readable source model to obtain its geometry. A format conversion should not be treated as corruption repair. If processing cannot read the file, try a known working copy or recover an available backup first, then use the readable SKP as the export input.
SKP to DWG accepts one model up to 100 MB and exports at most 500,000 CAD entities per task. The output must fit the 150 MB result limit. A detailed model can reach the entity limit before reaching the upload limit; simplify a working copy before trying again.
SKP to DWG is free and does not use your version-conversion allowance. Sign in to keep completed results in your private account history, with downloads available for seven days. Save your own project copy before access expires, and keep the original SKP while you inspect the drawing.
Bring the model your project already has to SKP to DWG. Export a separate drawing, keep the source, and inspect the result before sharing it.
