InkUp - Vector PDF Importer for SketchUp

Stop tracing. Start modeling. Transform PDF floor plans into clean 3D geometry in seconds.

🤯 The Problem

Every SketchUp user knows the struggle: you receive a PDF plan, import it as a blurry image, and spend the next 2 hours manually tracing over lines to get usable geometry. It's tedious, inaccurate, and a waste of your skills.

🚀 The Solution: InkUp

InkUp is the missing link between your PDF documents and SketchUp. It acts as a smart bridge using the powerful Inkscape engine to convert vector PDFs directly into native SketchUp Edges and Faces.

No more pixels. No more tracing. Just import and Extrude.

✨ Key Features

📐 Real Vector Import

Don't settle for images. InkUp retrieves the actual vector data (DXF) from the PDF. You get crisp lines, arcs, and circles that are ready for the Push/Pull tool immediately.

📑 Smart Page Selector

Working with a 50-page architectural dossier? InkUp analyzes the file and lets you choose exactly which page number to import.

🛡️ Crash-Proof "Deep Ungroup"

PDFs often contain nested blocks and complex groups that crash standard importers. InkUp features a unique "Deep Ungroup" algorithm that intelligently explodes and cleans up complex hierarchy before importing.

🔒 Safe Workflow

Your import is automatically encapsulated in a dedicated Group (prefixed with @@) so it never merges accidentally with your existing model geometry.

📏 3-Click Scaling

Since the import is a clean Group, scaling is effortless. Just enter the group, use the Tape Measure tool on a known dimension, type the real value, and resize. Done.

🛠️ How it works

1. Click the InkUp icon in SketchUp.

2. Select your PDF file.

3. Enter the page number you need.

4. Done! Your plan is in SketchUp, ready to use.
