Demo feature: “Create 2D Drawings” from 3D Model right inside SketchUp. All “2d edges” are separated by tags same with 3d model.

Hi @Cyentruk - I am trying out your extension. It already looks promising but I can’t figure out something. If 2 objects overlap in Sketchup I would assume that the resulting DXF only shows the visible lines. My initial trial and error testing results in a DXF that has all the hidden-by-overlap-line-work visible after all. Missing feature or am I making a mistake?

Hello,
If everything is right, the result should be like this: (the color, the origin, the block …)
Let’s try this:
Go to menu File > Export > 2D Graphic …, select DXF, then:
- Open options dialog
- Choose AutoCAD 2007
- OK
- Cancel
Then try to export again and let me know.
Hi @Cyentruk → that’s a quick response!
If I understand you correctly, you wanted me to test the baked in Sketchup 2D Export? Results in a file with the expected lines (without the Layers of course…)
I’ll attach the test file. I am on a Mac - might this lead to problems?

Ah - I found the problem. The “activate section” slider must be set to “off” in order for it to work
No, my exporter need native “Export 2D Graphic” run once before press the button Export DXF. But seems in Mac OS, it does not work properly as in Windows. In Windows, I can run it automatically. So I asked you try to run it first (just open the dialog then cancel).
Here’s result when export in Windows from your file “TestVBO.skp”

If you don’t mind, send me your real work via P.M, then I send you result of exporter.

Demo feature: Automation Grid Plan
Hey guys - I just wanted to tell you - this actually works. Still can’t quite believe it but I a manage to get from this…
…to this now with the 5D+ Auto VBO (weird name!) by now!
Support is great and this will really help solve my longest standing issue with Sketchup: getting drawings out to an average-joe type contractor who can only work in 2D and needs a couple of section cuts with Layers.
A good Sunday to everybody!!!
