Editing Objects in Trimble SketchUp

You can edit objects in Trimble SketchUp (version 6 or higher) if this software is installed on your computer.

1. Select an object.
   
   
2. Choose Edit > Edit in Trimble SketchUp…
   
   
3. Modify the object in Trimble SketchUp.
   
   
4. Choose File > Save in the menu of Trimble SketchUp.
   
   
5. Click Finish in Live Interior to replace the original object with the edited one.

Note that an object should be the Furniture type to have the editing function enabled. The type of an object can be changed in the Type and Representation dialog.

The resulting object model from Trimble SketchUp (even if you have changed nothing) differs from the original one. The more different models are present in a project, the more time is required to render the 3D view. For better program performance, you should avoid increasing the quantity of models.

The Exporting to 3D File Format section describes how to export an object to a file in the SketchUp format.
