How to convert SKP to DWG
- Add your .SKP file - drop it in the box above or click to browse.
- Convert it to .DWG in a few seconds.
- Download your new .DWG file.
What to expect
- 3D geometry arrives as mesh faces and edges, not parametric solids - expect to clean up the model in AutoCAD after conversion.
- Materials and image textures are not carried over; only layer assignments and line colors survive in the
.dwg. - SketchUp Free (the official web app) does not support DWG export; that feature requires a paid SketchUp subscription (Go, Pro, or Studio).
Frequently asked questions
Can I convert SKP to DWG for free?
Yes - use the converter on this page. SketchUp's own free web app does not include DWG export, which is locked to paid tiers.
Will the 3D model transfer correctly to AutoCAD?
The geometry comes through as mesh faces and edges rather than parametric objects. Complex nested components and curved surfaces may need cleanup in AutoCAD.
Which AutoCAD version should I export to?
DWG 2013 offers the broadest compatibility. If you know which AutoCAD release the recipient uses, match it exactly.
Do SketchUp components become blocks in AutoCAD?
They may export as AutoCAD blocks, but complex or deeply nested components sometimes flatten into raw geometry depending on the export settings.
