How to import the generated model in SketchUp

Import the generated GLB or USDZ file through the SketchUp import flow, then disable Profiles in Edge Style so the model appears without unwanted thick contour lines.

  1. Step 1Download

    Choose a SketchUp-friendly format

    Download either GLB or USDZ from the generated model formats. These are the color-preserving formats shown in the model modal.
  2. Step 2File menu

    Import the generated file

    In SketchUp, open File > Import, choose the generated GLB or USDZ file, and confirm the import.
  3. Step 3Edge Style

    Turn off Profiles

    Open View > Edge Style and make sure Profiles is not selected. This prevents thick outline edges from appearing around the imported model.
    • Edges can remain selected.
    • Profiles must NOT be selected.
    • Back Edges, Depth Cue, and Extension are optional for your view style.
    SketchUp View menu showing Edge Style options with Profiles available.
    Required SketchUp view setting: Profiles must be off.
Done. The model is imported and Profiles is off, so the SketchUp view will not add extra contour thickness around the object.

Need the ArchiCAD workflow too?

If your generated furniture model needs to move into ArchiCAD, use the OBJ import guide for the correct library, unit, texture, and representation settings.
