VE Tech Tips - SketchUp to IESVE

The VE allows users to export model geometry from SketchUp to the VE using the IESVE SketchUp Plugin. Changes to the geometry can be made in SketchUp and then applied to the VE geometry.

This VE Tech Tip explores how to prepare and transfer geometry from SketchUp into IESVE. It covers: 

• How to set building level data within SketchUp
• How to ensure windows, doors and holes are identified correctly during export
• How to identify rooms and assign room level data for export to the VE
• Export geometry directly via IESVE SketchUp plug in
• Check the imported geometry in the VE
• Export geometry from the VE back to SketchUp
• Perform geometry changes in SketchUp and export these changes back to the VE

Watch the video on transferring your SketchUp model directly into the VE below.
