Hi - I’m trying to export a design which is simply 12" x 10", but when I open it up to test it in FreeCAD, it shows up as many feet larger. I used the Top Perspective and Parallel Projection, but still doesn’t seem to work. My export settings look like this: [image] So, for example, when I open …

Noticed something else strange - my export cuts off the bottom of the file: [image] Did the file you provide come directly from .SKP, or did you import the .SKP and re-export it as a .DXF?

Mine came directly from SketchUp Shop.

[image] swabygw: Noticed something else strange - my export cuts off the bottom of the file: Looking at your screen pixels, it might still be that your export is not using a parallel view and a top camera position but a slightly skewed view. And the bottom part is probably not visible on your…

I think you’re right, but can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. Here are my two settings prior to selecting export from the menu: [image] I’ve selected the central icon in both of those settings, and in that order, so I’m on the Parallel Projection when I do the export. Still come out weird an…

Your image on the right is showing Parallel Projection. The one on the left shows Perspective.

Yes - I clicked on the Perspective (center icon) first, and then clicked on the Parallel Project and chose the center icon. Then did the export. I just found something else. I decided to install DWG TrueView and get an informative message when I opened up the app (see first image below). [image…

I tried it on a more complex file, at the 100% display setting (which resolved the prior file), and got these results: [image] Notice that some of the left side is cut off, as is some of the top/bottom. My .SKP file for this more complex example is this one: Bot_Bottom.skp (277.7 KB)

With this more complex file, which is supposed to be 12" x 12", I measured across the output and get slightly more than 13". So, I’m going to assume that, for this more complex file, the export is somehow over-zoomed by some small percentage, which is leading to some parts cutting off. Is there a …

I broke down and signed up for the Desktop trial and, voila, the export worked: [image] The online version, obviously, doesn’t work properly in conjunction with the computer display.

@swabygw , I think I’m going through the same issues as you do. I contacted the support for it, but they friendly asked me to post in the forum. Ok, if the forum can help me, I’m fine, but I paid +130 EUR incl. VAT for SketchUp Shop specially to be able to export to DXF, and there seems something no…

Did the file you provide come directly from .SKP, or did you import the .SKP and re-export it as a .DXF?
