SKETCHUP AND AUTOCAD can be used in conjunction with one another to create an image that is not so much a hybrid drawing, but rather an image / concept that originates in SKETCHUP - is exported to AUTOCAD - and then hatched and rendered in AUTOCAD. The image is drawn in 3D, then exported as a 2D image into AUTOCAD format. For this particular Civil Engineering Sketch, I used the two tone cylindrical gradient hatch in AUTOCAD to give the appearance and depth of 3D. The CAD file itself is 2 Dimensional and can be labelled and further edited in AUTOCAD.
