No, you must convert the 3d dwg file to a stl file.

...or, convert it to a DXF.

Perhaps the question here Simon, should be how are you intending to use the DWG or for what?

Well hope this isn't a swear word but I've been using google sketchup for a sloping wardrobe and needed to work out some angles!
I wanted to import the model to ecabinets to render in the room I've created. bit of a long shot maybe?

Simon,

Post your .dwg and we will see if it can be converted.

Mmmmmmm
It says the extension DWG is not allowed?

Simon Burrows · Post by **Simon Burrows** » Thu, Jul 02 2009, 1:24PM

Tried dxf also but "not allowed" ?

Simon Burrows · Post by **Simon Burrows** » Thu, Jul 02 2009, 1:26PM

Tried .skp also........nope??

Simon,
Gary is correct you will have to zip the file to post it or you can email the zip file to kerry@kerryfullington.com

Simon you will have to take the SKP file from google into a CAD package that can do a conversion to STL, from there you take it into the display part editor in eCabs for conversion to an HSF and then it will be useable in your layout.

Hope this works?

Simon,

Here is your wardrobe converted to a display Object
paste the .hsf and .jpg files into your eCabinets/import/whatever folder and you can use the wardrobe as a display Object. You can texture match to change texture and scale the object.

You can also open the .hsf in the display part Editor and use the editor to save the file in eCabinets.

You can build that cabinet in eCabinets if you want a cutlist.
