Getting this into SketchUp
Until .skp output is live, import the OBJ. Takes about ten seconds.
SketchUp Pro is required — the free web version cannot import
OBJ or STL.
- Download OBJ from the result above.
- In SketchUp: File → Import…
- Set the file-type dropdown to OBJ File (*.obj), then select the
downloaded file.
- Click Options and set Units to Millimeters. Do
this every time.
- Import, then click once in the model to place it.
- Check it: grab the Tape Measure and measure the widest point. It
should match the width shown above.
Step 4 is the one that bites. OBJ files carry no units, so SketchUp
asks you to choose — and it remembers the last thing you picked. Choose
inches by mistake and the model arrives 25.4× too big: a 14-inch
faucet becomes 30 feet. If something lands absurdly large or invisibly small,
it is almost always this. Undo and re-import with millimetres.
The model imports as a single group. Right-click → Explode to edit
the parts, or leave it grouped so it moves as one object. To reuse it, select
it and Make Component, then save it into your own library.
