SketchUp Grid Importer

Have you ever wanted to 3D Print your Arendelle drawings? Well using the new tools from Arendelle you can! Our both major Arendelle 2 engines JArendelle and Swifty now support a new file format called the "Grid File" which let us save the result of your Arendelle app. Then with apps like this you can load the Gird in places you want.

How?

Step 1

Get the last developer-desktop version of one of the major Arendelle Engines: JArendelle and Swifty.

Step 2

Run your Arendelle code and wait till it finishes

Step 3

In JArendelle use Export Grid button, give it a name and choose where you want to save your Grid file

In Swifty REPL use command save and with the name of the file you want as its argument like save model and it will save it aa model.grid in your home directory

Step 4

Get Trimble SketchUp Make (If you have SketchUp Pro, well good for you! But we don't need that. The Free SketchUp Make is more than enough)

Step 5

Clone or download this repo as zip. Then copy the file in src folder. Then in mac paste it to:

/Users/<your_mac_user_name>/Library/Application Support/SketchUp [n]/SketchUp/Plugins

And in Windows to:

C:\Users\<your_windows_user_name>\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp [n]\SketchUp\Plugins

Step 6

In SketchUp use from the menu File click on the Import Arendelle Grid . Choose the Grid file you exported in step 3 and here it is your Arendelle model, 3D in your SketchUp.

Step 7

Now that you know how to import your Arendelle model to SketchUp you can do whatever you want with it. If you want to do 3D Printing, I suggest installing this plugin and exporting the model to STL file format. Something that 3D Printers use.
