Wonder if my challenge is related to the issues found on a post closed 2-years ago.

Not sure why those edges show up on that side but not on the other. Easily dealt with in this model at least, by cutting the ends of the groups to match the break line.
Resulting PDF from LO:
Maybe @adam would take a look on Monday when he gets to the office.
FWIW, If I were set to make a detail like that I would probably have added the break lines in LayOut instead of in SketchUp but that’s just the way I work.
Thanks for prompt reply.
Agree with you doing these BL’s in LO instead of SKP as I was doing before. Thing is, I’ve done a DC for the BL’s in SKP and that cuts down drafting considerably.
I enclose a simplified SKP that still produces the error on Windows. I’d appreciate you trying exporting it from LO to PDF

Hmm . . . I use high reso on the PDF output from LO.
Interesting; yours’s perfectly hides the unseen lines.
Nino
That was exported at Medium. When I exported at High I get the same lines you show. I don’t think I’ve ever had a reason to export at High for any project I’ve done in LO. I’ve never seen any advantage and it just makes the PDF file big.
Really + Really appreciate your time on this. Perhaps MED Reso is the temporary answer for now in lieu of doing all these annotations in LO.
No Luck. Hidden lines still show using Medium PDF reso off LO.
Perhaps it’s a PDFengine peculiarity between WIN/MAC generators. I think MAC users have a more refined PDF platform than us WIN users.

You might be right although I’m also using Windows.
Tried opening the PDF in Acrobat and FoxIt. They BOTH show the lines.
Thanks for this old topic. I am a single SU user of 10 years, modest knowledge level, For the first time, on a floor plan, I have offset wall lines showing on a PDF, but cannot find them on SU or LO 2023 Pro. Looks like wall was inadvertently moved/duplicated at some point. Those lines do not show up with hidden lines and hidden geometry checked in SU. Is there some way to smoke them out in LO?. I ran PDF of the SU plan - no extra lines, LO - extra lines I can share files if someone tells me how to do that. I am sending preliminary sketch drawing to client anyway, with apologies. .
Adding that I am using Windows also
Sharing the LO file and the PDF so we can compare would help. I expect the files contain client information so you probably don’t want to share that publicly. Instead click on my name and then “Message” and send them to me privately. I’ll try to help. If the files are larger than 16 Mb, upload them to DropBox or WeTransfer and share the link in the message.
