How to export the project to work with LibreCAD
Hi! I am working with this kind of software recently, trying a lot of different apps. Sweet Home is really handy, does not require much knowledge to put the ideas on the paper (paper?). But it does not work with some aspects I will have to deal with in my new apartment project. I will have to remake the hydraulic system an review the electricity (also cable TV, ethernet, etc). So I will have to export my work to some 2D format and complete it with another app.

I have researched about what there is in the market for macOS, and started to learn LibreCAD (people talk a lot about Sketch Up, but I didn't like it, simple like this). If I can draw some lines over the plant done in SH will be enough to me so I can estimate costs with specialists. I don't need detailed simulation, this will be done by the engineers, just need to draw the basic circuit.

But I didn't find a way to export the 2D plan from SH so I can open it in LibreCAD... How can I do it?

I also have some Adobe apps in a monthly plan, I use Illustrator, Photoshop and some others. There is Dimension, but is 3D, don't know if can be useful to me...
