Foolproof Sketchup for iPad and Procreate Workflow

Importing and scaling your 2D freehand plans in SketchUp is one of the most important things designers do as they make the transition from 2D to 3D concept design. But how do you do this in SketchUp for iPad? Does using the pencil interface make it harder, or easier than with desktop sketch?

I’m a very recent ex Disney Imagineer ( Senior concept designer/ Art Director) and I want to grow my skills doing exactly what your doing for vacation resorts and such. Love your videos because I’m using and learning the same tools. Thank you for these tutorials!!!

Thank you for procreate to sketchup iPad version. I design using procreate with the help of a scaled grid background and transfer to sketchup on PC. The iPad version is a bit awkward to use but will persevere. Thanks again and look forward to future lessons

Hi, it's a very good tutorial. thanks for preparing, and I'd like to ask if it is possible to import .dwg file to sketch up in iPad Pro?

[qazeks]

do you think an Ipad 9gen can be enough to do quick 3d models and just show complete models?

Have you had any issues with Sketchup freezing after hitting enter on the dimension?

No need to drag the pen to 44 as you can enter the dimension ar any time.
