Dashed line options in SU

I offered this in a different post a few days ago as a potential remedy for drawing dashed lines.

Another way to achieve dashed lines is to

  1. draw the entity in solid line in the .skp file,
  2. draw perpendicular lines that intersect the previously drawn entity
  3. erase between the perpendicular lines to create the dashed effect. (also remove the perpendiculars as well)

I use this method to portray doorswings for example in SketchUp models. The technique translates very well in Layout for condocs also. You merely place the dashed doorswing on a specific layer that is turned on or off depending on the visibility desired.
